Mari is flying out with Dave and Rhi on Sunday night and will arrive in Bristol on Monday afternoon. Before she leaves there are some things that need to fall into place. We would appreciate your prayers.
We need to obtain all of the relevent medical reports and samples from the Drs here to take with us for the Drs in Bristol. This will save the procedures having to be repeated in the UK (we still need the results of the final bone marrow test.)
We will need clearance from the airlines to carry these with us as hand luggage.
We need good communication between NZ and the UK to ensure there is no delay in starting chemotherapy. Although the consultant here has made recommendations r.e the course of treatment, the team of specialists in the UK will have to come to their own decision after their discussions. Please pray that there will be no delays.
Timing is crucial and quite complex.
Also, in order for Mari to maintain her residency in New Zealand, she should remain here until 21st April. We fly out on 20th and are hoping that the Immigration Authorities will have grace to allow her residency to stand.
We can't begin to thank you all for the amazing love and support we have experienced each day. We have felt carried by your prayers.
Chemotherapy is a daunting prospect for Mari so please keep praying. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Dave, Rhi, Phil and Mari xx

Great news! Its seems like an amazing intricate jigsaw puzzle that all needs to fit into place - I pray the puzzle maker will put it together so tight nothing can fall apart.
Lots of love to you wonderful Days and may you feel immense peace during the last few days in NZ.

hey Mari . . . . would love to see you once you're a little settled back in the motherland . . perhaps summer and I could come visit and I could sing for you, like the old kingsland days . . . On Christ the Solid Rock, In Christ Alone . . you know, all the old favourites!!

i found this poem for you.. it inspires me, just like you do:
Justice Is...
Justice is what blacks need
Justice is what children in Africa need
Justice is what farmers need
Justice is what soldiers in Iraq need
Justice is what every American should have
Justice is what every human in the world should have.
-by Carissa

Hi Mari,
Though you don't know us, we know Dave & Rhi and feel we are getting to know you very quickly through your blog!
Just wanted you to know that we continue to pray for you (and all the Days) daily. We will be praying for all the journey details over the next few days and for a safe and uneventful flight back home.

Hi everyone
just catching up having been away for a few days... so pleased to hear that Dave, Rhi and Mari should be flying back Sunday night - will be praying that everything will fall into place.
much love, Linda
Hello darling Mari,
I too will be praying for all to work out - I like what Debs said here about praying the puzzle maker will put it all together. Although I am so sad to see you depart again so quickly, I am happy that this means you will be home for treatment sooner rather than later.
We love you heaps Mari and I am going to miss you like crazy! Sorry Day family - Be prepared for out of hours phonecalls as i try to work out the international calling problem! I will definately be praying for a speedy recovery so we can have you back here soon...
Aroha Nui nui nui!

Great news!
(Hmmm, who do I sound like now? Clue - see above) Be lovely to have you back where we can subject you to the delights of an English summer - bring your jumpers. I think I may have to stop the Tina Perry chasing then, but we'll see.
lots of love to you
Lesley & Mike
