         Britta is doing fine but experiencing some trouble breathing.  Doctor
thinks she has a bit of a cold and congested lungs.  She is such trooper
and takes it all in stride.  We take each day at a time.  God tells us
to pray for Him to " Give us this day our daily bread" so thats what we
do.  We make progress each day with some days more challenging than
others, but with His hand on our every step we get through it and look
forward to the next day. 

We love you and know God is blessing your life together as well.

Bye for now,  David.

We do want
everyone to know about Britta's pneumonia so they can be praying.  We
went for a lung xray last Thursday and it showed growth in the lung. 
She had been starting the local hyperthermias at high heat and also had
started an antibiotic on Sat.-just in time-because she had a reaction to
the breathing treatment on Fri. night and we thought it was rather
severe.   Well she got a temp and she was coming down with pneumonia. 
Went for a chest xray today and there is fluid in her left lung.  There
seems to be a change in the tumor too. We can't tell if it is negative
or positive.  We had her radiosurgery and it was a hard thing to watch
because of the headframe and how they  had to screw it on.  Sort of like
having your head put in a vice.  It was so hard for Dave and I.  The
rest of the treatment was painless, and I guess we didn't have much
choice for a good follow-up.  But the question is where to go from here? 
Be praying for us.  Obviously we can't go anywhere until the pneumonia
gets better and my friend Anna has her son in the LA area for treatment. 
She had been here also and Gus had metastises to the lung so they tried
chemo again and then they went to Culver City to have
hyperthermia/radiation and seem to be getting results.  The hard thing
about all this is that nothing seems to have lasting-longterm results. 
Something always seems to show up sooner or later and the treatment can
seem more horrible than the disease in some cases.
You are certainly a bright spot in our lives and make it better all
round.  If we will be here a while longer you can come and get Olian. 
He sure wants to go home now.  Maybe we'll have some answers soon.  I
don't know if we should continue this battle in the states or not. 
Thanks again for the beautiful home page.
Love, Kathy
