Update....

Just a quick update on things. We had a great day today at the Ft. Worth stockyards with the boys. It was very hot here today, in the upper 80's, but it beats the cold of Minnesota.

We found out yesterday that Eli is going to need surgery on his head. Not a real big surprise for us as we had already prepared for it. We are going to schedule it for early June, if the schedule works out. We are nervous, but know that he is in God's hands. We truly feel like this is the best place to be, and Dr. Fearon is the best surgeon. He reminds us of Dr. Hess, in his demeanor and bedside manner. He does 80-100 of these surgeries a year and this is the only focus he has. He essentially dedicates all of his time to craniofacial issues. And he has developed a specialized procedure to fix these issues. So we have a peace about being here and know that we are led by the Lord. We begin now, and ask all of you to do the same, to pray for the upcoming surgery. He will have a 2 hour surgery, be in the ICU overnight, be on the floor the next night, and then be released the next day. A very quick turnaround, due to the specialization of Dr. Fearon and his ability to focus and perfect the surgery.

As I type, everyone else is sound asleep, and I will be too. We are heading out bright and early for our 14 hour trip home. Please pray for safety and begin praying for the upcoming surgery. Thanks to all and all you do. God Bless......
