"PRAYERS WORK AND ARE ANSWERED", it's just that simple!
I finally talked to Bob, this afternoon.
The surgery went well, and his son,Robert, came through it okay!!
However, due to certain calculations and risks they knew about, ahead of time, Robert will have to now spend the next 5 days in the ICU unit at Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital.
Bob was in a hurry, when he called, so that is all the information I have at this time. But, considering what Bob and his family faced this morning, it's all the news I needed to hear.
Bob also sends his many, many, thanks to all of those here in the family, that answered my first post, with prayers and well wishes.
