Elder Hammer home again?

The end of July coelton wrote in his weekly letter that he was having pain in his neck, shoulders and was having terrible headaches.  He said he told Sister Alvarado and the nurse Sister Visker.  They set up an appointment for him to see the the orthopedic surgeon that operated on his arm. 
His appointment was next week.  We all assumed his trouble was coming from over compensation for his arm.  We all thought he just needed some physical therapy to work out the kinks.
During the week he developed a lump in his neck.  His shoulders were very slanted - the right much higher than the left. 
He met with the doctor and he was amazed at how well his arm was doing.  However the lump in his neck was not related to his arm. 
Coelton went back the next day for a CT scan.  The next day after that we got the results. It listed 3 posiblilities.  1 was a deep seeded infection.  and the other 2 were cancer. 
We were devistated.  Sister Alvarado was working to find answers and was trying to find a doctor that could shed some light on the situation.  They couldnt get in to see an ENT until next year. 
Meanwhile, President Alvarado called the doctors in SLC.  They reviewed his case and said that Coelton needed to come home.  President called us and very tearfully told us what the decision was.  We all but dropped to our knees.  We couldn't believe this was happening.  Not again!
Coelton would be returning on the moring flight and would get into Boise at 11pm.  It was August 11-Coelton's hump day...one year as a missionary.
We were just getting ready to go camping to McCall with Jason and Stephanie, Gary, LaRee and Julie and her kids.  We postponed our departure to see what the results were from the CT scan.  It was now 4pm.  It had been since 10am that we found out about the CT results. 
We decided to go to McCall for the night and return the next night.  I am glad we made this decision.  We were all crying and feeling so terrible.  It was nice to be near people and participate in fun acttivities that took our mind off things.  Plus just being in the mountains always brightens your mood. 
We arrived back home at around 8pm.  We put everything away and was getting ready to shower when Sister Alvarado called and said that Coelton's flight to SLC was delayed and he would miss his Boise connection.  We called DaNae and asked her to go to SLC and find Elder Hammer.  She did and brought him to her house for the night.  We finally picked up Coelton the next day at 9am. 
He was very somber and quiet, he didn't shed one tear. 
The next 47 days would be full of patience and refining.  Coelton never said "why me, why me."  He didn't get angry and he didn't want to quit.  He just would tell us that the Lord is in charge and he would do what He wanted him to.  He was so humble and so patient. 
He was immiediately taken to an expert ENT- Dr. Schwarz.  He did 2 biopsies of his lump that was so large.  The size of a golf ball.  He was started on an antibiotic.  A few days later we were told the lump was not malignant.  What a relief.  2 weeks later after the antibiotics could calm the swelling- Coelton had a surgery to remove the lump.  We never really found out what it was.  Dr. Schwarz said it was an enfection.  It was a virus that got bacteria in it.  Joel and I feel that it was either related to his arm.  An infection that showed up all these months later in his lymphs.  Or he had the dengue fever and this was how his body reacted to it. 
Coelton returned to his mission on Sept. 27.
