Surgery day!

Posted on February 20, 2013 by Barbara Harper

Well, today’s the big day — my husband’s surgery to have his kidney removed is this afternoon. (If you missed it I wrote more about it here).

Would appreciate your prayers that he come through the surgery well, that God would guide the doctor, that he have a good and quick recovery with no infection, that his mom’s health and situation will remain stable throughout this time, and that I and the rest of the family will have calm hearts.

I don’t know how much I’ll be online for the next few days. On the one hand, I’ll be waiting through the surgery and then he’ll be sleeping a lot afterward. But while he is recuperating I need to be available for him.

I may update here when he comes out of surgery.

Thanks for your prayers, support, and friendship! ♥

Update: everything went well and we’re in his room now. He’s having a hard time getting comfortable but otherwise ok.

A lady in the waiting room waiting for someone in surgery had an asthma attack and had to be taken to the ER. Kinda scary, but I guess a good place to be if you have to have one.

Our pastor was here when we got here and stayed with us til they had Jim prepped for surgery. That was an unexpected blessing.

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and prayers!

That’s good news! Prayers during recuperation. Make sure and take care of yourself Barbara…maybe a little extra Vit. C?!
