After a few delays in their flight, Mom and Dad arrived in San Diego and later, Mexico . They are impressed with the Oasis of Hope hospital--it's friendly staff, cleanliness, thoroughness, and professionalism. Dad continues to feel good, for which we are extremely thankful. He is receiving ozone treatments and 3 different IV treatments (Vit C., Laetrile, and Perftoran)--some days they last 5 hours! He is also taking many supplements orally. They said the food is good and Mom is learning more about the diet they recommend. They have met many interesting people and have enjoyed the fellowship. Mom can stay in the room with Dad and they eat all their meals together in the dining room with other patients and their caregivers. They can walk to the ocean together many days and can see the ocean from an activity room on their floor of the hospital. Thanks again for all your prayers!
Here are a few pictures of Mom and Dad's trip to Japan...enjoy!
Even though it was the middle of December, still the leaves were pretty. Here we are taking a walk near our home.
We went for a short trip to the mountainous area about 2 hours from our house.
We got a little glimpse of Mt. Fuji!
The ocean and mountains were beautiful!
Here is the view from Mom and Dad's room!
We ate many interesting foods--it is like eating art!
Akihiro's parents joined us at the inn and we had a wonderful time. Here we are in our traditional Japanese yukatas. Mom and Dad had quite a challenge to keep their slippers on!
Here's the room where we ate breakfast and supper.
Here's a picture of the Japanese hot bath (onsen) at the inn. See previous posts on onsens for more details!
We explored the little town and saw lots of interesting foods--even some fish and squid out to dry!
On their last day in Japan, they came to our Tokyo church ladies bible meeting. It was a blessed time!
