Recalled..........

Posted by Ruth....
Jannich enjoyed two and one half days of fellowship while working on Habitat for Humanity homes in Waveland, Mississippi. His job was painting, which he loves! He was working with Titanium owners and church groups from Colorado. Ruth and Winston kept the home fires burning. Monday we became aware of the urgency of a medical issue that had been simmering since our breakdown on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Quebec City.


As soon as we have the rest of the tires replaced on our RV we will be leaving Mississippi to return to Ontario.

The problem with which we need to deal involves Jannich's health. The Doctor we saw in an emergency ward east of Quebec City contacted our family doctor in Durham in the middle of October. At the time that he treated Jannich's presenting problem (mid September) a number of tests were conducted. (We spent that night in the hospital parking lot.) The symptoms related to Jannich's chest and lung areas. Jannich saw our family doctor October 3rd., was prescribed antibiotics and a inhaler with medication and saw his heavy cough clear up to a certain degree. Thinking all was well we left Ontario. The Quebec doctor emailed us and Dr. L. with his concerns after he had examined the x-ray a second time. The Durham doctor has suggested that we return for further tests.

The above section was written on October 30th. After speaking with our family Doctor on Wednesday, October 31, Dr. L. Suggested that Jannich get some chest x-rays in Bay Saint Louis and perhaps save a trip back. This AM, November 1st. when Jannich checked our computer he found an e-mail telling us to return to Ontario ASAP. Dr. L. saw a "mass" in Jannich's lung, in the x-rays that had been faxed to him. With no time to get new tires we will trust God to get us safely back to Durham.
He coughed and hacked all the way from the Gulf coast while battling the interstate traffic.

Tonight we are back in a park north of Birmingham, Alabama, well on our way north!!!
