Deo Gratias

We are back in Oakland. Melanie's grandmother has made a miraculous recovery. The internal bleeding stopped, apparently by itself (after about five units of blood were transfused), she lost about 25 lbs. of fluid, and was moved out of the ICU today. She looked better today than she has for years, and is eager to be home, which should happen tomorrow morning. We rushed up to Redding Saturday expecting the worst, and are overjoyed to have the best case scenario play out.

Thanks to all who have offered prayers for her.
