Post Surgery Update

Just wanted to give you all an update on my dear wife.  Her surgery went very well today. It went a little longer than scheduled but no complications. The surgery took a little over 6 hours. The mastectomies both went well.  The hysterectomy took longer than expected due to some scar tissue from previous surgery, but praise God the surgeons were able to do it laproscopically and vaginally (no major abdominal incision was necessary).  She took a while to wake up from the anesthatic, but she has been improving this evening. Chris has been able to sit on the edge of the bed and has had a popsicle and some ginger-ale. She will spend the night in the ICU because of the length of the surgery.
Thank you all for your prayers.  God has been so good to us!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Dave

Praying Dave and Chris!
Praising our gracious God with you.


There was a loud sigh at the dinner table when we read Henry's email together last night. I think we were all holding our breaths just a bit.

Love you!

D & A and all our little Larrys
