THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!

Dad's surgery went well! With only one minor disturbance for the anesthiologist, the knee replacement itself, went really well. Thank you all for your prayers, and thoughts, phone calls, comments on my blog, and visits to the hospital...and an extra special thanks to Dad's friend Jim Mallard who came to check on Dad last night! We appreciate you all! It's great knowing that we have such caring, Christian, loving friends and family to help depend on!
