Ann's surgery

     Ann came through surgery better than could be expected. She has been "up" the last several days and that has helped. Her test yesterday showed only minor problems with her heart. She was scheduled for 8:30 this morning and they took her in at 8:40 and started the actual surgery at 9:20. BEFORE 10:20 she was out of surgery and headed to recovery. A little while later she was brought to the room awake, perky and chatting away in Spanish with the nurses.
     The doctor removed her left ovary to be sure there was nothing else there and sent it all to pathology.He inspected the rest of the abdomen and found nothing unusual. When he met Cheyenne and I, he was beaming and said, "It was benign. It was definitely benign. There was nothing else there. Anita is fine."
     Thank you so much for praying. She is still a little sore and has had some pain, but looks terrific (I'm prejudiced!!). She will spend the night there and be released tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to pray for her.

Our God is always faithful.      Casey, Ann’s mother, is doing well with good days and days less joyful. She completed pin-point radiation and will have to wait a total of three months to see how effective it was towards the tumor. She had hesitated in going ahead with the treatment, but decided she should try to see if that would at least slow down the growth. She able to take care of her personal needs, but does need help with any extra care and at times is less stable on her

Dear Praying Friends,      You have been praying, haven't you? FIRST, Ann's bogus account was fixed, so there should be no more problems there. I don't do Facebook, but Cheyenne took care of it for us.      Yesterday was the test day for the whole church. Armando returned from Monterrey on Friday, so I scheduled a meeting with him on Saturday. The results of that will be explained in a minute.      Yesterday was also the day that our ex-deacon was to return with all the deaf he "won to Christ." It turned out that they had led 1 deaf person to the Lord. All of the rest (30-35) were people they took out of our deaf church.      Armando preached the regular service and ended the service without saying anything about his status. After the service was over, he asked if he could talk to the members. Amazingly, all non-members moved outside without a murmur. He began by explaining that he was totally in charge of taking care of his dad after his surgery because his only
