Prayer Request

First one is a prayer request - Dad(Merle) will be having surgery on his shoulder (injured from the fall) on Wednesday. Should only be in the hospital over night if all goes well. Just pray for his safety and God's guidance during the surgery. Also that God will be with him as he won't be able to use his arm for at least 6 weeks and that will be hard on him.

Second - Mom and Dad's 60th Anniversary was in December but with how Dad has felt (along with the need and request for NO attention!) I made the decision to not have a big celebration but I'm hoping after his surgery at some point to be able to take them out for an evening and maybe just have family that is here in the area help us celebrate (late). I would like to be able to shower them with cards and wishes from all of you....so if anyone would like to send a card to them, you could send to me and I will deliver all at one time to them. My address is PO Box 55, Berwick, IA 50032. Thanks so much!!


Thanks
Jenni

Thanks, Jenni,

I’ve been praying for Uncle Merle and will continue to do so. Is this a rotator cuff surgery? I had that a few years ago and it is not only a long recovery but I went through intensive rehab treatments.

I don’t know if I’d be able to make it to the late anniversary celebration but please let me know when it is because I’d sure love to join in.

Thanks Tim. I will let you know. Maybe a while now. It was the rotator cuff although it ended up being pretty "extensive" (the doctor said). Was toren all the way from the front to the back....so had to make a pretty big incision and pull and stretch a lot of stuff in there. It was a 2 1/2 hour surgery! He is in a lot of pain and still in the hospital. Doctor said maybe go home tomorrow. He is pretty miserable!
