Then the following week (April 27th and 30th) are the surgeries.
The prayers, faith, encouragement, kindness and help shown me and my family has been a blessing from God and an inspiration. I cannot express how much they are helping me and my wife and kids. God bless all who help others and do so out of the goodness and compassion of their hearts.
I look forward, if it is God's will, to the time when I get past this and can be once again in a position to help others as myself and family are being helped now.
