Surgery is Tomorrow

Dad's surgery is tomorrow. Mom and dad will get up at around 4 AM as they have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM. The surgery is supposed to begin at 7:30 AM and is expected to last 4-5 hours. Gretchen will be with mom tomorrow and my family is driving down tomorrow morning to be there as well.

They will take out the tumor in dad's esophagus so dad will go back to eating through his feeding tube only. They haven't decided yet whether they will take out the two lymph nodes as well.

Please pray for the surgical staff, for dad and mom, and for a full and quick recovery!


Heavenly Father, Healer of Wounds, God of Unconditional Love and Mercy, please hold Sid in the palm of your hand as he undergoes surgery. Please direct, guide, and bless the hands, minds, eyes, and instruments of the surgical team assigned to do the surgery and every person who touches Sid. Invite them to focus their minds to the tasks at hand and make each one of them perform their assigned tasks perfectly and precisely through Your guidance. Lord, please breathe love and peace to the family and loved ones, that they may continue to feel your warmth and love on this day of the surgery. Assure them that Sid will be healed so that he may continue to serve You in the ministry You called him to do for the proclamation of Christ's goodness, grace, and mercy. We lift up our prayers in Your Name, Lord. Amen.
