Stand Strong

Thank you to all that came to the hospital and prayed with us; and for your prayers, texts, emails, and phone calls. It meant so much, each one so faith and hope filled! While Terri and I were waiting in pre-op, she reminded me she expects to be told she is cancer free. As you know the cancer did not spread outside her colon! Our God is awesome, teaching us strength, hope, comfort and peace is in Him. It is a long journey of recovery--major abdominal surgery. She is very sore but we believe she will heal in the divine time table! Please agree with us for a speedy recovery.

She is in ICU for 2 days. Pray for God to strengthen nurses and doctors to complete the journey. We are still waiting for the pathology report, but are believing again it will show no problems. She has no drainage tube, no breathing tube, no nose tube--just oxygen.

Sitting on her tray table is a cross stating, "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 NLT) Stand strong! God has a plan.
