Pray For Ian

Dear Friends:

Yet another day of answered prayers!

This morning the doctors informed us that they were

not going to operate on Ian's spine until Monday.

Though there is some pressure on the spinal cord,

there is not an imminent danger and thus surgery was

postponed. It's not as serious as first thought. And

that is very good news.

Also, they did surgery on Ian's knee, cleaning it and

stabilizing the bones in preparation for a much more

involved surgery. The surgery today went very

well...no complications. Praise God!

I just want to thank you all so much for all of your

prayers and encouragement! I can't believe what an

honor and joy it is to be part of the Body of Christ!

I wish I could thank you all in person. And please,

if I see you in the future and don't thank you, tell

me you were praying! I mean it, I want to thank you

in person.

On Monday, if his neural condition continues to

improve, they will operate on his spine. He is still

not out of the woods yet in that regard. It's a very

serious and very involved operation. Please pray that

his neural condition continues to improve and that God

would protect him in surgery. Also, pray for a

miracle! Pray that Ian wouldn't need to have the

operation on Monday.

Also, pray for his leg. There are twenty fractures

and infection is a very real danger. They're going to

have to "put Humpty Dumpty back together again" (in

the words of the doctor).
