Dan's puncture was right smack dab in the middle of the cornea. Again, Jake has good aim.

More on the eye.......

Dan is doing great! He went in again today to have his eye checked out AGAIN. {I think this doctor likes him :) } He can wear his contacts again, but still has to use some of the many drops he was given. But he is in the clear.... literally, ha, ha. So let's see......He has been to the eye doctor 5 times in the last 6 days. That is WAY too many times in a week.

He is going into surgery tomorrow for his ankle. They bumped him up to the 9:45 am slot (someone canceled) so we have to check in by 7:45 am. That means we have to leave our house at the butt-crack of dawn! Of course, it has to start snowing now, just to make sure the roads are nice and treacherous for us. Hopefully it will be all cleared up by the time we drive home. Dan's surgery is an out patient thing. He will have a great ride home, right!?

And then there is my sis..... she was induced today, and we are still awaiting the arrival of Gavin/Dean Alleman. As of this, moment she has been given an epidural and pitocin, now it's just a matter of when he wants to come meet us.

HOw is the ankle? How is the eye? Need I worry about your head, shoulders, toes, ears mouth and nose? I knew you were tough, Dan, but coming that close to losing your sight is pretty dang scarey. How are the Christmas decorations, Emily? You would love the no stress here,,,,,, a big meal on Christmas and maybe some new clothes....if your lucky. No Santa, no tree no decorations. As Bishop Ndivo said today, "Christmas in Africa is boring." Actually, it helps me get through the holidays without you much easier, cause there is not a lot to remind me of what I am missing.
