"My tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the day long." - Ps. 35:28
Dear Friends,
Today we have much to praise the Lord for...
The lab report came back this morning - the tumour was classed as a T2 (fairly large) and had invaded the wall of the rectum. So, the surgery that was done was definitely the right thing to do. There was NO cancer found in the lymph nodes.
Dad was released from ICU yesterday morning but, since there was not a bed available, was not moved out until 11 p.m. last night!
Yesterday they had weaned Dad's oxygen down from 8 litres a day to three litres. At that time they wanted to keep him on the oxygen so as not to "stress" his heart. Not sure what today will bring in this regard.
Dad woke Mom up this morning at 5 a.m. to tell her that he has a beautiful room! He was so thrilled that the Lord had answered his prayer for a private room. But, as we know, the Lord LOVES to give good gifts to His children, so not only is it a private room but it has a large window and is painted a lovely shade of blue. And, although it is close to the nurses station, it is in an alcove so is a fairly quiet room as well! Mom informed me that Dad is ready to "hold court" :) so if you are in the area please stop by Room 310 to visit with him. If you can't stop by, he would love to speak with you on the phone and can be reached at (207) 973-5310.
We are not sure how long Dad will be in the hospital but he has already asked Mom to start making plans for their move out West!! Guess that he is ready and raring to go! He will be doing some physical therapy and will probably need to do more therapy so that he can learn to walk on his prosthesis without any aids.
Thank you again for all your prayers on behalf of our family and specifically our Dad. It has truly been overwhelming to us the number of people around the world lifting us up before the Throne of Grace. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We know that you will be blessed for having spent time on your knees before the Lord.
May you have a most blessed day!
