Prayer Points

Hi everybody!

GOD IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!! We are home today, after spending 5 days at CMC in Lubbock for Clay (my hubby) to have robotic, laprascopic prostate removal. The doctor's report said that Clay had prostate cancer.....but PTL!......the LORD'S REPORT says that Clay is healed! Dr. Beck feels that he got everything and that NO FURTHER TREATMENT is necessary. We are still waiting on the final path report that is due out this week, but Dr. Beck feels confident that it is clear. PRAISE GOD!!! Clay came home with a catheter and will have that for at least 2 more weeks. We go back to Dr. Beck 2 weeks from today and they will run a dye test to make sure the surgery is healed, and if so, they will pull the catheter out at that time. Clay has 7 small incisions. They are glued, so no staples or sutures. I am going to give you new prayer points to pray for us, but I want to explain one of them now. When Clay woke up in recovery (after the surgery), both of his arms were numb from the shoulders all the way down through the fingertips. He could not use them, etc. That has now improved some and although his hands are still numb, it is mainly in his fingers, and he can now use his hands. PRAISE GOD! Although a couple of doctors and nurses gave us several possibilities about why this was happening, we don't have to know what it is........just praying for manifestation of complete healing and restoration. GO GOD!!! I am enclosing a link again to my blog for those of you that don't have it. I will post updates there, etc. I also occasionally post pics there, too! The doctor said that Clay can do TWO things (we expanded it to three) over the next two weeks until we see him on Monday, October 22nd: (1) Watch TV and, (2) Read the paper (and we added (3) Play the guitar). So we will be here for a little while. Clay can't drive for 6 weeks. He can "ride" when he feels like it, but no bumping across the turn rows in the cotton fields.

PRAYER POINTS:
(1) PRAISE GOD that we got to come home and that CLAY IS HEALED!!!
(2) Pray for manifestation of complete restoration and healing in the Clay's abdomen, intestines, pelvis, genito-urinary function and his hands/arms.
(3) Pray for quick and speedy recovery with no complications.
(4) PRAISE GOD for Dr. Beck, Clay's urologist and surgeon, and pray that he come into a deeper revelation of God's love and plans for him as God's instrument of healing.
(5) WE PRAISE GOD for all of our incredible friends and family (you!)!!!!! You are wonderful.

God's love & mine,
