All Clear For Sara

Today God has given us another reason to praise him. The "spot" that showed up in Sara's brain a few months ago is now smaller. The doctors are now certain it must be scar tissue from the October surgery. Sara can go 3 months before another examination.

Needless to say but we'll say it; everyone is relieved. Thank you for your prayers and Praise the Lord!


That good news comes right after a weekend of celebrating 60 years of marriage for Roger and Sara.

Sara's Heart Back in Rhythm

Today at Kansas Heart Hospital Sara's heart was "converted" and is now beating smooth and normal

After a a five day stay in the hospital most of the fluid that collected in the pericardial cavity has been drained and today Sara's heart was converted when the doctor applied just one electric shock.

Please pray that Sara's heart remains in normal rhythm and that there's no more fluid build up. Sara also contracted a bladder infection as a result of the procedures; pray that heals quickly

Sara and Roger return home tomorrow, Tuesday. Pray they both get good rest after nearly a week in the hospital (Roger remained with Sara most of the time)

May God bless you all

Great News

There was some concern that Sara might have suffered a mild stroke during her surgery last week. Sara is no longer symptomatic and this week's MRI showed no signs of stroke AND
no signs of any tumors!

We know that we are temporary on this earth but
Praise God from whom all blessings flow for Sara's continued health!

Thank you for your prayers!

Sara Update

Sara is eating solid food today. They are trying to get her up and walking but she's still very weak and shakey on her feet. Her drain tubes might come out today, but don't know yet. She still feels the effects of the anesthesia but she's a lot better than yesterday
