Update On Our Prayer Needs

Here is the latest on our prayer needs:

1. Tammy continues to be in extreme pain due to the two herniated disks. She will be in the hospital in the morning (8/22/2007) to have a procedure done on her back that hopefully will bring relief from this pain. Pray that the procedure will be successful and that there will be no negative side effects.
2. The time for my kidney surgery on Thursday morning (8/23/2007) has shifted forward an hour to 8:00am. Pray that the doctor will be able to follow the laparoscopic approach, resulting in a quicker recovery time. Also pray that the surgery will successfully remove all the cancer and there will be no need for any additional treatments or surgery.
3. This is a new prayer request: Pray for wisdom for Tammy and I as we evaluate a new option for dealing with Rebecca's spastic reflexes. We have found a procedure that should give her complete relief but that will require surgically implanting a computer controlled medicine pump into her body.

And a praise report:

1. Rebecca went to the doctor and her latest x-ray shows that the pneumonia is completely gone. This is a significant answer to prayer. Praise the Lord!!!
