Paul has been dealing with some relatively severe intestinal issues since coming home from Iraq in 2009, and it was determined this week that he will need to have a portion of his colon removed. We are anticipating his surgery to be on December 30, and the surgeon told us to expect a week-long hospital stay plus several weeks of recovery. This is major, but we are hopeful that he will have a full recovery with no further symptoms after that.
Due to the large number of out-of state family and friends that we are updating about this latest development, I am going to use the blog to post updates when the surgery happens. We are grateful for the prayers of our family and friends. Please pray for the children as well. They have expressed some fear regarding the surgery.
For now, we are thankful to be looking forward to Christmas together. Our prayer is that the Lord would be magnified as we walk this next path that He has chosen for us. We know that all that comes into our lives is filtered through the sovereign, loving hands of God.
