"It's a Great Day to be a Christian" (Pastor Curt)

Hello again,
Two more tubes where removed earlier today. The Dr's removed the epidural and chest tube. They have her on a self administered IV pain killer. She has been complaining about feeling hot. The nurse just took her vitals and everything is normal. Diane is wondering if it could be a hot flash as the result of her right ovary being removed. She is only allowed a small amount of ice chips. Once her bowels become active they will start her on clear liquids. Please make your prayers specific to the bowels.

Last night I was picking up things in the room and came across a card Diane has been carrying. It has Joshua 1:9 written on it "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you when ever you go."

I had a chance to set with Kathy's family in the surgical waiting area for a short time today. Please do not forget her and her family in your prayers.

Love you all!

I will continue to pray for Kathy & her family.

I can’t wait to be able to see you guy & hug you both.
(Of course I’ll hug Diane gingerly so not to hurt her)
