After seeing the mass in the surgery this morning, the surgeon said that he was confident that my dad's speech would be not as good as it was last night. Today it was actually a little better, praise God! Considering the surgery was more extensive than he had expected, the doctor was very pleased with how it went.
He is still not feeling very well and still has trouble speaking. We don't know how long he will be in the hospital, but he is scheduled to leave the ICU and go to a step-down unit. Thank you for praying, and thank God for all the grace he has given us.

Dear God,
I pray that Steve would get to enjoy a surpringly lengthy life as he battles his illness. I pray that you would give the family much strength through your Word and from the fellowship of other believers. Give them sweet days ahead and bless them with much joy. I pray for Ian and Larissa, too, for encouragement and wisdom. Pour out grace and mercy on this family, Lord. Amen.
Praying for you,
Lisa

We are praying for you all. Thank you for the way you are putting your focus and trust in the Savior. It is an example to us as we read this blog and pray for your family. May He heal, continue to lead clearly through wisdom, and strengthen each of you.
We continue to pray for you all. It is so encouraging to hear of God's amazing grace for you in your specific circumstances. We wish we could do more but know that our appeals to our heavenly Father are made perfect in Christ and are the best thing we can do each day. Grace to you.
