Al's Progress



Al and I went to John's Hopkins on March 19. We were told that Al will have at least two more months to recover from the surgery that he had in September because he has had a few setbacks (fluid was taken off his lungs 3 times, 700 cc of fluid was taken off around his heart, A MIRACLE HIS HEART WAS NOT DAMAGED, problems with his blood pressure being low, and he has lost 50 pounds. He now weights 140 and other problems). As a result of these setbacks he is still very weak.

We also learned that he has a hernia the size of a baseball at the bottom of his stomach as a result of the radiation affecting the tissue in that area which cased the problem. Al will have to get another operation to take the hernia out as well as his gall bladder. He must get stronger before he can have the operation.

Al went to John's Hopkins again on April 6. He had tests taken concerning the hernia and gall bladder. We should know within the week what actions the doctors are going to solve the problem. He also has fluid on both lungs again. The doctor said that will have to wait a little to decide what to do about it.
We are sorry that we have not kept this up to date. It seems like life is so busy.
Thank you so much for your prayers. Our sisters and brother in Christ have been such a blessings to us.

  1. Thanks for the update. I had laproscopic hernia surgery and recommend it over the more invasive type hernia surgery.

As soon as you see the healing manifest. Please , please, please, let us know so we can rejoice at the testimony of Jesus Christ in you two. Soon I see you skipping upon the hills again like a young calf!
