Well, today has been another interesting day. After a third checkup at the second different hospital, and after numerous blood and urine tests and an ultrasound, the doctors seem positive that it really IS Chronic Appendicitus after all.

Please pray that we would have wisdom on what to do now. Although Noel's condition is very stable and he feels ok most of the time, we will still almost surely have to have his appendix removed. The question more than anything is when and where. We can either have it done in my home city here in China, or we can try to wait another month until we arrive in Malaysia. Malaysia is known to have very good health care and reasonable prices.

We will make a decision sometime this week, so keep us in your thoughts.
