Hello Everyone,

Jennifer and I had the opportunity to visit Scott last night at the hospital,
and in short, he's doing pretty well. His brother Steve was there, as well as
his parents, for about our first 30 minutes. After they left, we talked for
another hour and walked with Scott all over the floor he's on. Much of the time was spent with a fellow patient and her family who were thrilled to see Scott walking around. We were all in her room--she had surgery on her entire spinal column--laughing and enjoying God's good graces.

Scott looked good--well, he does need to wash his hair or he's going to start
looking like a candidate for American Idol--he moved well and his conversation
was great. There were a couple little "memory" moments where he couldn't think of a word, but most people wouldn't even notice that. His humor is there, and when we were with his fellow patient, the evangelist came out again. It was a really blessed evening.

Keep praying for Scott. He and Michele are still waiting for the results of the
tests which should be available on Thursday. These results will determine the
direction of Scott's after-surgery treatment. They are obviously concerned
about this and we should direct many of our prayers to their peace during the
waiting period.

O, I almost forgot the good news: Scott most likely will be going home today! So, keep those encouraging words and prayers comin' in. Thank you all for your support.

Blessings to you all,

David
