This is Ricks official health update blog. We will be at the hospital Mon. the 29th and the 2 hour surgery will begin at 7am. A nurse will be out early in the process to tell Patti if the cancer has spread outside of the prostate or not (the thinking here is that it has not). If it hasn't the surgery will continue, if it has they will close up and we will reconsider other treatments. I will be in the hospital until sometime Wed. the 31st, and then will be recovering at home. Patti will keep this blog as the update tool for a few days so check in and pray...peace, Rick

Thank you all for lifing Rick up in your prayers!! God has answered and I am elated by this news!!!

Julius and Vicki said... Praise the Lord... We are so grateful that he has been there for the both of you. Mrs Patti take care. LOVE Julius and Vicki Farrar.
ReplyDeleteOkay the doctor just came in and said that the surgery went really well. They removed the protate with no problems other than more bleeding that usual. They may need to do a blood transfusion this afternoon. But the doctor did not feel that this would be a problem. He felt very good about the outcomes!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, thank you so very much for your prayers. This has been quite a long few weeks as we have been waiting for this day. God is so faithful, we feel very cared for.
Rick will be waking up here in the next few minutes and I am very excited to be the one to tell him that he is now cancer free!! (:
We are so thankful for all of you, we love you all dearly and will forever be grateful to you for you prayers and your encouraging messages.
I know that Rick loves you all so very much and as he recovers he will be truly blessed as he reads your comforting comments. Thank
you again for your support through this very stressful time. I am so blessed to have you all in my life!!
I will post more as Rick wakes up and let you all know how his recovery is going!
Love you all so much!!

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Mount Vernon,
ReplyDeleteAs I just received this blog on my pc, I wasn't aware of all of these details. Praise be to God for all of the ways He has shown up for you guys. I am siting here waiting to go to the intercessory prayer group this morning and what awesome news to share. I love you both so much, you are continually in my thoughts and prayers and you are still sorely missed.
In His Grace, Terry England
Praise God!!! What wonderful news, God is so good!!! What a faithful Father we have! I am so thankful that He answered our prayers and is with you each step of the way. I will continue to pray for healing and that you recover quickly. (I also will continue to pray for the nurse who is interested in attending your church!)
