News from Fremont and Romania

I got word from my Mom in Fremont yesterday that Dad collapsed and was taken to the hospital. He has been recovering from open heart surgery, and had been doing very well when we left. The good news is that they believe it was due to the doctors prescribing too much blood pressure medication, and we hope he will get to come back home today. It is hard to be so far away and getting this news, but you can pray just as well from Romania as from Fremont, so that is what I have been doing. I'd appreciate your prayers for Dad as well.

It is kind of strange to get up today and know we are not going to help at music camp and see the kids. As Joanne mentioned, the concert went really well and the kids were just amazing. One of my favorite things to watch was the parents, who were just packed into the church, gazing at their kids with wonder at what they had accomplished in just a few days. The cameras and videos almost made it look like a press conference for some major event. I feel very blessed to have been a small part of helping the kids at camp. Karen
