Thanks again, for the thoughts and prayers.

I arrived on schedule and went straight to the hospital. I found a much-improved Dad and a much-relieved Mother. Dad had a yet-to-be-translated "procedure" yesterday that alleviated his pain and he is in great spirits. He is now consuming the numerous newspapers and magazines that I brought from the States.

Mother and Dad give HIGH praise to the medical staff here and the local rep for CSA Insurance has provided very caring assistance.

Hopefully the CSA medical team will talk with the local doctor today to review Dad's status and discuss when he is fit to travel. Then it's on to the travel planning.

We will provide a full review of the insurance logistics when we return and begin the claim process. I think, for now, that we are all pleased with the "human" element of CSA's work, regardless how the monetary aspect unfolds.

More later.

Thanks from the Davis family.

p.s. -- Mother and Dad are already talking about another Regent cruise!
