Big news!!!

As of this morning, Palwesh's passport has been granted and a passport number has been allotted!!!! Now the waiting begins to receive it in the mail (if you know ANYTHING about the Indian postal service, you know this is no small concern!). After that, all of the essential paperwork will go to Chinmoy, the attorney, (called an 'advocate' in India) so he can procure a visa. Please pray specifically for him and for this process...

We are getting closer!!! I am VERY excited! Cannot WAIT for you all to meet Palwesh!

Please also pray for me... I need a healing touch in my body. I can hardly believe that today makes 3 weeks since my surgery. I had a sort of relapse on Tuesday which has left me at home on the couch AGAIN for the last 2 days... Even though I tried to build up to going back full time, I must've overdone it by sitting at work for 7 hours... but I did get up and walk occasionally...

Then, yesterday, I started having a Chiari-like headache which worsened during the night (I actually had a dream in which I had a headache and was telling people it was from the Chiari!) PLUS I awakened with chest congestion - between you & me, coughing does NOTHING for head and back pain!

I thank the Lord for my boss, Pastor Mike! I cannot IMAGINE going through all of this and not having an understanding & caring boss... In case you're reading this, I PROMISE I'm working toward better health, Chief!!!

So today, even though I'm rejoicing in this GREAT passport news, I'm having to take pain meds again... and I *REALLY* don't like that. Please keep praying!
