Peter has come through well, PTL
Hi everyone,
This is Dorothy reporting. The surgeon phoned at 7.30 pm last night to say that the surgery had gone very smoothly, and that he felt hopeful that he had been able to give Peter a less painful situation. It was over 8 hours of surgery and the Surgeon admitted it had been a difficult one. He said he had found extensive deterioration in Peter's back and said he could only imagine how much pain he had been enduring. There was exten sive Psoriatic Arthritis in the back, which in fact was the main cause of the nerve compression. Of course we understand that this arthritis may cause problems in the future but the surgeon was hopeful that the new "hardware" that they used (ie. titanium and O.P 1) would at least be more comfortable and compatable in his back.
Thank you for praying. We have been given much strength and assurance of the Lord's presence with us. We are in His capable hands! I went down to see him last night ,arriving at 9.30pm and was able to stay with Peter until midnight. He was in pain but seemed to be doing well at this point. We were able to talk and pray together and read the Psalms and he kept reminding me of eveybody I needed to phone and how to use this 'blog' site.
Psalm 31: 14,15a "But as for me, I trust in you, O Lord; I say 'You are my God'. My times are in Your hand..."
Peter is very aware of the Lord's presence and purpose. He thanks from the bottom of his heart, all who have shown such love, patience and concern as we have waited for this surgery. We continue to trust Him for the future and recovery!
Love in Him,
Dorothy and all the children (for Peter)
