So I guess in order to get things rolling so dad can start on recovery the cardiologists have decided to go ahead with the surgery tomorrow, Friday. He will go in around noon for the surgery, and they may have to do some invasive testing before the surgery, so those decisions will be made tomorrow. Its a scary surgery but God is with us and in control, all will go well hopefully. The neurologist said on Monday the possibility of little strokes ( bleeding in the abscesses) in the brain is there, but she thinks that dad will pull through fine. Pray for us tomorrow, as waiting outside the operating room is the hardest, and for dad to be calm going into surgery, he seems excited that they will be getting this show on the road, so he can start getting better. He was ready to go on Tuesday. Hes been sleeping good all day, and should get a good nights rest still on the ventilator. Then tomorrow it begins. My friend Katie is coming up to be with us tonight, since everyone just headed back ( haha funny timing) and then Becky and Althea will be coming in the morning. So just keep praying, Ill keep you updated. Love you all.
Katelyn
We will be praying and let us call it GOOD FRIDAY!
ReplyDeleteLet the surgery go well and let the healing begin for daily strength and gains to new life for our dear friend Bob. Lord wrap your loving powerful arms around Katelyn and Jan and keep them in your perfect peace through this surgery.
God is doing a new thing through the hands of his heart surgeon for Bob's heart and working miracles for his brain to come through this_ still the amazing guy we love and care about.
Hear us oh, God. Your mercy is great. Amen.
I'm praying and I got my prayer warrior friends on it as well! Love you all!

ReplyDeleteDo not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Dear Father God, we present our requests to you - for rest tonight to increase our strength, for clarity and wisdom for everyone tomorrow, for all the glory of God to shine in and around and through the operating room tomorrow. We give thanks for your Presence, for your mercy, for your angels all around us, protecting us and comforting us.
Lord we give to you our worries and anxieties. We give it all to you. Let us remember to breathe, inhaling your love and your peace, and exhaling our anxiety.
Sending our love and prayers your way. Bob we hold in prayer and stand back a bit to let the doctors do God's healing work, remembering that healing is part of His plan. Jan and Katelyn we not only hold you in prayer, but are right up close and holding you in our arms, giving you hugs I am sure you can feel even across the miles. Know we are there with you at every moment trusting in God through all our concerns and worries. In a couple of days you can let Bob know that the legions of Rolla Roaster recipients in our family are also praying for his speedy recovery.
