WE'RE HOME!!!

Sorry it has been nearly a week since I blogged, but I was a little busy, and the motel I stayed in didn't have internet connections. Anyway.....
Clay's prostate surgery went well. Dr. Beck feels that he got everything, and the final path report will be in sometime this week. Dr. Beck doesn't think that there will be ANY further treatments needed. Clay came home with a catheter. Also, when Clay woke up in surgery, both arms were numb and he couldn't use them (from the shoulders all the way down to the fingertips). A neurosurgeon and neurologist was called in. They feel it is some type of neuropathy aggravated by the anesthesia. Dr. Beck said it could be the CO2 gas they pump you full of for the robotics, and the nurses said it is probably nerves irritated, because the surgery is 5 hours long, and your hands are pinned behind you for proper positioning. WHO KNOWS!?! The numbness is now down to about Clay's fingertips. He can use his hands, although not perfectly, and can now feed himself, etc. Just pray for the feeling and use to be completely restored in Jesus' name. THANKS!
The doctor told Clay that for the next two weeks he can do two things: (1) Watch TV and (2) Read the paper (yep, we'll throw in guitar playing, too). So we'll be here. I will try and go back to work next week, Monday, Oct. 15th.
Thanks for your prayers and friendship. We serve an AWESOME God and we are seeing His mighty healing power!!!! GO GOD!!!

WOO HOO! \o/

God's love & mine,
