Surgery successful!

Bob had his surgery today to remove the shunt in his head. He almost had to have it postponed. I forgot that he couldn't have anything to eat or drink. T said he wanted a snack and a cup of coffee. So we went to the dining hall. One bite into the donut, I remembered at 9:30am. Well, the surgeon had a "hissy fit" at 2pm. The surgeons convened and decided to not put t out, but to give him a local anesthetic and meds to really relax him. So, he was awake while they pulled the shunt out of his skull. ewww...

He's doing great. He seems a lot more alert now. It was wonderful to see. Once again though, the surgeon was not positive about where Bob has progressed compared to what was predicted back in May. Why does everyone need to be so negative? T beat the odds. All medical staff should be amazed and show amazement, not shake their heads in wonder.

PARTY

CANCELED1. You are invited to our house Saturday, March 20 at 2pm - whenever for a Welcome Home party for Bob.

2. There will also be a one-year Survival Party, May 29th for those who need more time to plan. That is Memorial weekend, so you'll have a four-day weekend. More details will be coming.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
