1.30 p.m…

Hi everyone,

We’re not in control, but He is…

I checked on Irene early Friday morning and made a quick trip to our home.  After taking care of some “to do” items and running a couple of errands, I picked JoAnna up at the SJ Airport and we arrived at UCSF around 6 p.m.

Just about that time, Irene began experiencing more discomfort and pain than I have observed to date.  The med teams sprung into action!  JoAnna and I didn’t leave UCSF until almost midnight.  (Jocelyn is in Dallas for a project and returning to UCSF later today).

The medical teams have consulted with us and they continue to do all that they can to support Irene during this challenging time.  They’re young, smart and care deeply.

There is a lot that we don’t know.  Here is what we do know.  God is in control. He directs our steps.  He loves us and orders our days. We cannot begin to fathom how great a God that He is, other than through the living person of Jesus Christ, who comforts us in our times of pain.  We know that he will never leave us nor forsake us.  Our hope is in him…

We are grateful for your continued support…

Dave
