Surgery

We praise the Lord that Carol came through surgery today and is in good spirits...which is not surprising. The surgeon removed a large paritoneal (sp?) cancer and found a considerable amount of cancerous cells which will require chemo treatments that will be started within 2-3 weeks, as soon as she can physically tolerate them. We have been blessed with an outstanding surgeon and medical people which the Lord, through your prayers, has provided.

All three of our daughters (Sue, Karin & Lisa) are with me, and Lisa is staying with Carol tonight at the hospital so that I can catch up a bit on rest. Carol is not up to telephone calls or visitors yet, but hopefully will be very soon. We will keep you posted.

Thanks so much to each of you for praying! Through those prayers, God has literally "moved many mountains" that we would love to tell you about later when we both are a bit more rested. Your notes, cards, emails, telephone calls and love have been a blessing to Carol and myself as well as the family.

Our love to each of you!

Chuck...and Carol too
