Getting tired of all this good news
Good news is boring. It would be much more invigorating if Daniel had turned out to be pregnant or something, but as it stands, he continues to recover and regain his health. His catheter is gone now, and tomorrow the drain. Monday he gets to drink again and Wednesday he can be released to go home. This is all assuming that God continues the amazing work that He has already done.
Dr. Bello was very impressed with Daniel´s quick recovery time and keeps telling me how ¨lucky¨ Daniel has been through all this. Yeah right, Daniel just serves a freakin´amazing God and has a TON of people who love him. I´m taking this as a testament to how much love Daniel has shown in his life and to the quality of people that surround him (that´s a lot of you guys).
Eddie and Marilyn (Daniel´s parents) arrived this morning with Nacho, a local Christian who brought them from the airport. They are thrilled to be here and said that I´m taking excellent care of Daniel (that made me say that). They are staying at a nicer hostel across the street and I will continue to stay with Daniel due to my superior skills in Spanish and medicine. It´s really nice to have a little help though.
We moved to a bigger room today, I think because the nurses saw the money bags walk through the door this morning. We now have a sitting room, 2 bathrooms and a bigger TV and warmer water. They told us it would cost the same, then changed their minds when we moved... pretty sure that was unintentional though, the nurse seemed really embarressed.
Not much else going on. Please pray Daniel all the way back to the U.S. and then some. He´s not out of the woods til he´s running around getting in to more trouble for the glory of God!
I feel like I´m leaving stuff out, but sleep has been scarce and interrupted. Again, thank you for your support and encouragement.

Hey Ross!
My sister and her family are friends of the Stinson family. She called me and told me what was going on. I lived in Quito 2005-2006.
I put Marilyn and Eddie in touch with Jon, from the Church of Christ in Quito. He figured out their trip from Quito to Portoviejo and put them in touch with Nacho there.
Please, tell them that I am soooo glad that everything is working out.
I have been following your daily updates and they are great! You have just been amazing, not only in taking care of Daniel, but in letting everyone know how things are going.
We will continue to pray for each and every one of you.
God bless you all,
Narda
