Upcoming Surgery

Posted for Sheri...

YEAH! Thank you all for your prayers. Wally is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning at 8:30 at Virginia Mason in Seattle. The surgery is scheduled to last approximately 6 - 7 hours, give or take an hour. The doctors all seem confident that it will go well. Next prayer request is that there are no surprises when they open him up, or in Wally terms, "fillet" him (remember they didn't get the best pictures) and for a full and quick recovery. Wally set up a blog last night (I'm clueless to these things) and our friend will keep it updated. Also if you are in the area of Virginia Mason Hospital tomorrow and anxious to sit in a boring waiting room say anywhere between 9:00 and 3:00 tomorrow, please feel free to stop by:). God has answered our prayers for peace. We are all feeling very good about the surgery tomorrow and have faith that the Great Physician will get him through this surgery. He will be in the hospital for 7 - 9 days and they hope to have him up and walking around a bit on Saturday.

I will continue to keep you updated on his progress.

In the meantime, thank you all for your concern and faithfulness in prayer,

Sheri
