Dear All,
Thank you for your continued and fervent prayers- they mean so much, especially while we're over here on Oahu, far from family and home. We couldn't have made it this far without your outpouring of love, prayer, and support!
Dad had a good night, and his pain has been manageable... it comes in waves, but it's not nearly as bad as it has been the last few days. He was up for part of the morning, talking with us and watching TV, and napping in between. It's great to see him so strong and 'normal'- amazing considering we were just here 6 weeks ago, and there have been two surgeries and almost 3 weeks of hospital stay in between!
It is 2:00 pm and Dad just went in to begin the surgery- we found out late this morning that surgery was to be scheduled for 4:50 pm today, but an operating room suddenly opened up early. Dr. Liem, chief of neurosurgery, will be the one performing the operation again. It will take 3-4 hours, and they will be going in the exact same way as the first surgery.
Please pray for guidance and clarity for the surgeon and supporting doctors, that there would be no complications (however minor) from the procedure, and that there would be a clear diagnosis and strong treatment after the surgery. Thank you for standing with us!
I Peter 5:6-7, 10-11 "Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you... After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen."
Love,
Jim, Patti, and family

ReplyDeleteDear dear friends, I am thinking about Curt and praying for him and for you constantly, and will be for the next few hours. I'm waiting anxiously for your text to let us know of the surgical results. I am so glad he chose to have the surgery.

Hi Curt,
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my thoughts and prayers. I wanted to send you a note to you. Krysta misses her hugs from you and she is looking forward to them soon. She is officially a senior and has you on her list for her graduation. Ka'ui will be coming home for Krysta's graduation. Let us know when you can get visitors we'd love to come to you to get our hugs.
A hui hou,
