Bob was taken to surgery to have the shunt put in his head to drain the excess fluids into the cavity beside his stomach. I'm glad they are doing that because today he was not responsive at all. He would open his eyes to look at me quickly, then his eyes would stare at the ceiling. The nurse said that the doctors feel he'll become more responsive than he was a few days ago with this shunt.
My son has a band concert this evening. He plays the trumpet, bass guitar, and tuba. As musically talented that he is, you'd think he was one of Bob's own kids! Zachary has a good tutor. Anyway, my reason for telling you this is because, I am back in Roseburg for the night, then I'll be traveling to Portland tomorrow.
Prayer for Bob by Paster Daryl:
Eternal God, you know us through and through, you know our needs even when we can’t speak them. Touch Bob with your grace and presence. As you give him your abiding care, assure him of our love and presence. Assure him that our communion together remains secure, and that your love for him is unfailing. In Christ, who came to us, we pray. Amen. adapted from UM Book of Worship
