Prayer Request Update

Thank you for all your prayers-there aren't words to express what it means to me knowing you're out there thinking of us and praying for us.

Scott's dad had a round of ultrasounds this morning and the doctor at U of M does not think the aneurysm is as critical as the doctor in Grand Rapids. That being said, he will need to have surgery on that within the next 30 days, but not this week.

He also had another heart cath done today to look at the blockages in his heart for the bypass surgery. This surgeon does not suggest bypass surgery at all. One blockage is completely blocked now and he feels the artery was too small to do surgery to begin with. The other blockages (heart and carotid) are under 70%-their threshold for surgery. We're still not sure why the doctor in Grand Rapids thought everything was as critical as she did, but trust this doctor and his direction for the surgeries.

Bottom line, Scott's dad will know when his surgery for the aneurysm is tomorrow and he will come home with only one surgery needed! Praise to God for looking after us the last few days and keeping out hearts and minds as calm as possible!
