Still in Quito

Still in Quito. Dustin is doing well, but still in the hospital. He needs to stay a bit longer. Tomorrow the doctor will take of the dressing...oh. I missed a day in here yesterday. He had minor surgery yesterday on his knee. The took him to the OR and drained his knee of about 60cc of fluid and put in a drain. The fever is gone today, and now we're waiting for the draining to stop. Also waiting to see if the culture comes back negative. So far so good, and we're praying we can head back to Shell on the regularly scheduled shuttle flight on Friday. Dustin is tired of laying on his back. His positions are limited with an IV in his left hand and a drain in his right knee. We tried to do homework this morning, but were interrupted so many times it was impossible. He ended up watching a movie, then sleeping from noon to 3 PM. This afternoon he worked on math homework and memorized Ephesians 6:12. Right now he's up in his room, while I quickly check e-mail and write this from the net cafe right next to the hospital. More later. Thanks for your prayers.
