Change of Plans

Rob had back surgery yesterday. I realize my last post said it would be June 2nd, but Monday a nurse called him with a cancellation, and asked if he wanted to have surgery then. Rob was worried about homework and projects due the week of June 2nd, and right now he didn't really have too much on his plate, so this worked out better for him anyway.

He had surgery at 8:15 Tuesday morning and came home about 5:00 the same day. The doctor said everything went ok and that it was a pretty routine procedure for him. Rob is sore but is getting around. Since this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, we didn't have the family fast my mom was hoping for so please keep Rob in your prayers. Thanks once again for all of your love and support.

Back Surgery for Rob

About a week ago Rob had a new MRI done (his last one was done in Russia) and met with the doctor to go over the results. They decided to have surgery June 2nd to cut the bulge off of his disk. Rob will be released the same day so it's a small incision and procedure but he is very concerned about keeping up with his homework while he is out of school for a few days.

I'd love it if the family would join us in a fast for him the Sunday before. We are hoping this will make it so he can walk normal as well as fix his back problems. I think he looks worse than ever. He gets so bogged down with his work, and doesn't handle stress very well. Maybe we could fast for that as well. I worry about him.
Thanks, April
