More good news!

We're done with grafting! The surgeon had time today so he stopped by after all to have a look. There are just two small red areas that aren't quite healed that should take care of themselves, otherwise it looks good!

They still have Dad on quite a bit of oxygen, so they won't move him off ICU until his breathing is better.

Please pray that his breathing, swallowing, and kidneys will improve.

Just to let you know I'm thinking of you and praying that all is going well and it seems to be. While the temperatures are so hot outside, it is good that we have air conditioned places where we can keep cool. Love you all a whole bunch. Elaine Vance

Uncle Henry's memory is failing but he phones me everyday to ask if I have heard any news from Sask. I read him the daily postings or take a copy over, of course I have to explain things over & over but he wants to know how Stan is doing. I am so glad that the news keeps getting better and better. Love from Uncle Henry, Elaine & Theon

Thanks Monica for keeping us posted so well. We are always hungry for news about your dad and how the family is doing. We thank our God for His constant presence, care and healing. We rejoice with you in the awesome progress evidenced each day and pray for healing, breathing, swallowing and full kidney function. Bless you all. Bob Parker

Positive attitude & strong will, the two main ingredients required to get through tough times, Stan's got those in spades, and it's working! Glad to hear the outlook get's better each day. Miles & Colleen Wright

I just read an article on the benefits of keeping patients on oxygen to aid with healing, so that's probably a good thing. We continue to be so amazed at Stan's progress and yet know God is doing just a fraction of what we know He is capable. Look forward to the day we get to see you all again! Much love, LaWanda

You can count on me praying -- in fact some friends and I prayed at 7 this morning and Stan was definitely on our 'list'. It is good to read about how well Stan is doing -- is God faithful or what?!
