Monday 1 June, 9:15 pm MSTAubrey called just a few minutes ago to report that the endoscopic surgery has been completed successfully. The surgical team replaced the stint in Daniel's liver and also performed some exploratory procedures. They discovered his liver is leaking again, but said these types of leaks usually heal.
Daniel is still experiencing a lot of nausea and pain and isn't talking at this point. The doctors said tonight that the remaining tubes will need to stay in his liver for 8 more weeks.
Daniel has been optimistic and strong for over two months now, and he still has a couple of months to go before he doesn't have tubes coming out of him, plus several more months of healing after that. He will endure this and some day, hopefully soon, the surgeries will all be over (he still has a couple more to go). But this much pain and trauma, not to mention all the surgeries, take their toll on a person's strength and spirit. Please continue to pray that Daniel will have the strength to endure all he has to go through. And thanks to everyone who has helped in so many ways. Your faith and prayers have helped Daniel and his family more than you will ever know.
Daniel, we love you man and are constantly praying for you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. I am sure you are feeling pretty beat down by now, but I am amazed at your strength and please continue to hang in there. "This too shall pass." I love you so much nephew and if there was any way to pass any of the pain from you to me I would. Keep going strong and I know you will be in a National Park guiding clients in no time. Love, Uncle Ben
