How John is doing....

First I have to say John is the writer in the family, not me.  However, I did promise him I would let everyone know how today went.
The alarm clock was suppose to go off at 3:00am.  I woke up at 3:45.  That shouldn't be a problem but we were leaving at 4:00am.
John went into surgery at 9:00 am.  The great nurses at RRMC gave us hourly up dates on John.  All were good news.  By 6:00pm we thought surgery was finishing, but 2 hours later we were still waiting.  When nurse came in and told us all was well and to head up to ICU of course we waited some more.
When Dr. Peyser came to speak to us he was all smiles and assured us all was well.  Pathology report was good and all organs were clear.  We were allowed to go in and see him, of course he was sleeping, gave him the good news anyway.  Maybe somewhere in his sleep he heard.
Thanks to friends and family who came by, called or t-mailed, you made this day go by much faster.
Through all this today, I realized how God has used this journey to change and grow me.  Thank you for taking me by the hand and never letting go....
