Peter home safely

Peter arrived home at 12.30 pm yesterday (Tues.) by ambutrans, much to the excitement of all the children. It was so good that he could lie down all the way home! Compared to last surgery ten years ago, we are amazed that he is walking without a walker or back brace. The surgery site is of course very painful yet, but we are trying to keep him comfortable. He was quite uncomfortable through the night. We are all very relieved to have "Dad" home and very thankful that he has been blessed with a succesful procedure. We have known the Lord's presence with us and thank you all for your fellowship in prayer on our behalf. Peter is not able to work on the computer yet as the angle is difficult, and he cannot sit comfortably, so you'll still have to hear from me(Dorothy) for a while. He stands to eat with the use of a tall Hospital bedside tray which we were given. He will probably be up to visitors by next week. Little Chelsea is asking when Daddy can hold her again. That will be many months away, but hugs can be given everyday!
