Latest on Walt

I have been way lax in getting updates out. The latest is that Walt went through radiation treatment to deal with the lump in his neck that had come back. He is done with the treatement and was scheduled to go to the doctor today to get everything checked out. However, this morning after he woke up he had severe pain in his right leg which turned into numbness. The other concern which he experienced the night before is an area in his abdomen that is protruding which is close to where his aortic aneurism was repaired two years ago.

The ER did a cat scan on him around lunchtime and the results are a good news/bad news scenario. The good news is that the aortic aneurism repair is perfect; however, he has developed a clot in a secondary artery that will need to be repaired via surgery. This will happen tomorrow at Houston Northwest Medical Center, which is near 1960 and I-45 (for those of you in the Houston area).

Specific prayer concerns are as follows:
  • Successful procedure
  • Walt to be comfortable throughout the process
  • Walt to have peace
  • The rest of the family to be free from worry
  • That Christ will be glorified in our actions

Thanks for praying.

Other Terry, we will keep you all in our prayers... specificly for a successful procedure, that Walt will be comfortable and have peace. We will be praying that your family will also have a peace that God is in control and that our Lord will be glorified.
