Surgery tomorrow

Well I guess Les is all set for surgery tomorrow. He went to KU yesterday for preregistration. He also had a CAT scan at Olathe Medical Center. It was a long day for him.

His surgery will be at 7:30 AM and we need to arrive at KU at 6:00 AM. They will do a few more tests in the morning, but it should be pretty quick. The surgery will be approximately 3 hours and he may be in ICU immediately after. He should be home in 5-7 days. Knowing him it will probably be 3 days.

His spirits are good. He is ready to get this over with and move on.

I have been reading Isaiah 43 for the past few weeks and holding onto the promise of God:

Isaiah 43

But now, this is what the Lord says--he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior---

We are trusting the Lord to see us through these next few weeks and give us strength. Thank you for all of your prayers and words of encouragement.

We will try to update this blog as soon as we can.

God Bless you!

Linda, we are saying prayers not just for Les, but also for you and the family. He has such a great attitude and will hopefully push thru this like all the previous hurdles. He is such an Inspirition to everyone who knows him.
May God's will be done.
