Bless you, sandyeggo. My father remains in ICU and is doing extremely well. The nurse who is caring for him this morning is named "Mary Madeleine O'Hara" -- and I knew that was God's little message to all of us that Da is in good hands.

Early this morning my mother, sisters, and I met with one of my father's doctors who gave us the good news that the vertebrae and disks had not been inflitrated by the tumor. They put things back in alignment, and they are hopeful that Da will be able to walk in the long run. We are very, very grateful.

Excellent news. More prayers heading your way...

Your father has been an inspiration to many of us here on FR. The Lord does move in mysterious ways, and I am humbly grateful that all went well in surgery. Looking for a speedy recovery so that he can get busy at the keyboard again. Peace to the family.
