Praise!!

Sorry I did not update last night. After Robert called me I feel asleep on the couch. I have not slept well the last few days but I slept great last night after I heard that Bill surgery went well! The surgery ended up happening last night and took about 3 hrs. His surgeon said he looked much better inside last night than he did Friday. They did the colostomy and flushed him out again. He will probably be in the ICU for at least the remainder of the week. Then he will go back to his regular room for at least another week.We knew Bill's colon cancer surgery would be tough but never in a million years it would turn out like this. Bill will have a testimony to share for sure! Jesus is in the healing business. Keep praying. He has a long road to recovery. Robert did say last night to pray that his incision stays tight and closed. The Dr said last night that was the tough part getting him closed good. I don't understand why but I guess it because they had to reopen the original surgery incision. Plus they left it open while he has been in ICU for the last few days. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks again for your e-mails and prayers! PS Robert will be there untol Tuesday. He hopes they start weaning him off the vent Tuesday morning. Before he leaves he wants too see Bill awake and with his eyes open. I can't wait too see Bill and June. I know I will be VERY emotional so be prepare sister and brother in law.

Surgery

Surgery was postpone this morning but will happen this afternoon. I do not know what time but will post ASAP. Bill is still stable. Robert and Josh staying at the hospital last night with Bill. Robert sounded really tired but very optimistic. They were told this morning that Bill will probably have a permanent colostomy bag. The reason is so much of the "dead" colon had to be cut out. This is the least of his problems for sure. We are just PRAISING GOD he has been stable this last two days.

New Update

Bill still is stable. Josh his son flew in this afternoon from the Florida where he is stationed. June is OK but it is really hard for her too see Bill on a respirator. I just even can imagine how hard that is. I wish now I had left this morning with the kids. It has been real diffcult being here and all the family there.Robert felt though it was be best for me to be here with the kids though. He was probably right because Caroline has been very tearful all day with worry. She worried about her Uncle Bill and she misses her Daddy. She is such a Daddy girl which is a praise! Surgery is in the morning we just don't know what time. I promise to post whenever I hear.

Update

Robert made it too Wilmington safely. He and June ( Bill's wife) were able to go see Bill immediately. He is stable and sedated on a respirator in intensive care. Robert was able to get a clear picture from the nurse who is caring for Bill. What happen for some reason part of the colon lost blood supply. This caused that part to start "dying" The Dr removed the rotten part which was causing the infection. They flushed the pockets of infection out. They also clamped off the good part of the colon to prevent even more from dying off. He is stable right now but critical. They are watching his blood -pressure for signs of septic but PRAISE GOD all the blood work has come back good. His BP did drop last night and they became concern with him being septic but they determine that it was dehydration. Tomorrow morning they will go back in and flush him out again. He will then make a decision what they can do with his colon. He told June there was a possibility that he could reattach the colon back. He just doesn't know until he goes back in. If not he will go ahead and do the full colostomy at that time. Bill and June have one son who is in the Army ( pilot school). The Red Cross is flying him in today . I am going to stick here at home with the kids. Right now Robert's brother Ron is there and several other family members. God is working even through Bill's sickness. First they moved from NY to Wilmington. If he was still in NY Robert and his family would not been able to get to Bill quickly. Also Bill went in for a colonscopy JUST BECAUSE someone at his new job found out he had colon cancer. His regular physician said it was not time for one but Bill insist . If he had been in NY he would probably not had a early colonscopy. Please pray for Robert's parents, Billie and Barrette. They are having a hard time especially Billie. I will keep everyone updated. Again please pray

URGENT PRAYERS!!!!!!!!

Robert's Brother situation has turned critical. In the next hr he will be going back to surgery. The Dr wants to open him back up to deal with the infection. He will be in intensive care PLEASE PRAY! Robert just left for Wilmington , Please pray for safe travels. He was so upset.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Robert's Brother Bill is running a temperture. They feel like he has a infection somewhere, which is serious because of the surgery. They will be taking him down for a CT scan to determine where the infection is. So please pray.

I am glad it is over!

As someone that treasures that all LIFE is to be protected I am sadden over our new President. This really sums up most of my feelings. http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/11/04/cthomas_1104/ I still stand firm that we should not put our faith in anyone but Jesus Christ. He is still in control and NO MAN is. Our responsibility is to pray for our leaders. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) Whether your man won or lost, it makes no difference. He needs your prayers.

Did you vote?

I went this morning to vote. I Voted for Faith, Family, Life and Marriage. So no need to tell you who I voted for. Wish They had Jesus Christ on the Ballot. I actually almost wrote him in. I feel if Obama is elected it will take our society even MORE into a downward spin especially in the Pro-Life . Pro-Marriage, Pro Family,Pro-Faith journey we are in.People have become too tolerant on this issues and he will be just the icing on the cake. For that reason I have been so stressed over this election as a Jesus Lover. I am to ashamed to say Read on Why.............. On the other hand if he wins ( probably will) I think that his tolerance and lack of Bible teaching morals will bring us as Christian to be more BOLD about our Faith. We Evangelical Christians have also become to comfortable in our faith. ( INCLUDING ME). More souls will be won over for Jesus Christ for this reason! I heard wise word last week during our Youth small group time. Who are we putting our Faith into Jesus Christ or our next President. This is why I am ashamed.

12 Sticks of Butter!

Robert talked to Bill last night . The epidural was removed yesterday and Bill is in REALLY bad pain. So pray that the pain would be more tolerable. We saw a picture of Bill's surgery site and WOW it makes me hurt. The surgery was much more extensive than I think anyone of us realized.I am hoping today will be a turn around for him in the pian department. Week 2 of The biggest Loser went great last week. I lost three more lbs! For a total of nine lbs. Hey that is 12 sticks of BUTTER!

THIS MUCH MORE AT ISSUE!

PLEASE WATCH! It is the most powerful video that I have seen concerning our election. If you care about Faith, Life, Marriage and Family please watch. We saw it today during Church and I cried. There is MUCH MORE AT ISSUE than gas prices and our economy. Please pass it on if you believe in these issue and VOTE.
