Tuesday Night 10:15 pm


PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE THE LORD!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

Marty is really doing quiet well! She has been going all evening. When I did the last blog she was eating some “clear liquids”, which was fine. Then she was up to the bathroom. Then she asked if she could go for a walk, so off we went for a walk. When we got back she sat on the edge of the bed and started doing her devotions but was having some trouble staying awake. Now she is having a Steak and Shake fruit and yogurt milk shake and talking to Jennifer on the phone. Not bad for the same day as surgery.

Marty has indicated that she has not had a headache since she has been back from surgery. Also, her breast is so much better that she hasn’t had anything for pain since surgery. She said that the tightness and pressure is gone, all of the bad pains are gone, and the surgical site does not really hurt all that much, basically just to the touch. It seems quiet amazing that just getting the implant and irrigating the infection out, could make that much difference in that short of time. But, we are not going to question that, we are just going to thank and praise God and the medical team that are God’s hands and feet. Thank you Lord.

You know it is so nice to talk to doctors and medical folks that will talk back to you about God. I really do appreciate that and indeed have had that opportunity today. Thank you Lord.

We also appreciate the calls, the prayers, the support, the concerns, and the sincere offers of help from so many of you. You are awesome and very important friends to us. Also, we what to thank Bonnie and Glenn, who stopped by last Saturday, and for Glenn and Dan, who were here during the surgery with me today. Your visits and support are greatly appreciated. Praise the Lord!

This had been such a blessed and beautiful day and we give God the praise and thanks for being so good and gracious to us. Thank you Lord!

You are no doubt asleep as this gets published and we pray that you get the rest you need tonight, that tomorrow in word and deed, you are truly being God’s servant, doing His will and glorifying Him. May you also have a positive day tomorrow feeling God’s presence and blessings. May God truly be glorified and praised.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
