When the Rain Gives Way To Sunshine

We awoke to thunderous storms, hardly making it to the hospital on time. We sat in stand-still traffic for 30 minutes, and I looked around and wondered how I could be setting in a terrible storm going to my husband's brain surgery. We finally arrived, and found him to be the calmest I have ever seen him...without meds!! We had intense family prayer and he finally went into surgery.

He was in surgery less than 2 hours, and the surgeon gave us the wonderful news that it was indeed a pituitary gland tumor, they were able to get almost all of it, they didn't see any aggressiveness in the biology of the tumor that would cause it to grow again, and that it is not cancerous! How could we ask for more?

I am so relieved I can hardly breathe right now. I am just glad his now bald head is closed up, and that he is back in his ICU suite.

Going to see him right now!

Love you,
Denise

    PTL! I had a release in my spirit around 10AM after praying and spending time in praise and thanksgiving.

    I'll wait a few days before I try and reach you again after things have settled down some.

    Give me a call when you're free! We're rejoicing with all of you!

    Good is good,
    Becky

    God is so good! There was not a moment this morning when you guys left my mind and my prayer list. Even though I could not be there with everyone, I could feel the Holy Spirit at work all morning. When Arian and Megan's emails arrived, I could not help by smile and say, "Why did we even worry?" Our God is greater than anything physical in our lives. I will keep Stewart and the rest of you in my prayers during his recovery. Take care of yourselves, too. Love,
    ds
