The Struggle Has Ended

Better Than Expected

Dr. Rodriguez visited Greg today and said the surgery was successful. Everyone is happy that there were no signs of cancer beyond what the CT scans showed. The surgery ran smoothly enough that Greg did not need to go to ICU, but went straight to a standard bed. After a tough evening last night Greg was doing surprisingly well today. The pain got under control and he enjoyed hanging out with Christine, Susan, Mom, and Dad. He was alert today with generally tolerable pain. The doctors and nurses were very pleased with his condition. Greg is very thankful that things are going so well.

We have been praying during the past two days, waiting to hear something about the results of the surgery(our power was knocked out by the hurricane until earlier today); we are so thankful to God to hear that things went well. We will continue to pray for healing and strength for both Greg and Christine.

The Monday morning men's group has been much in prayer and reflection on your progress. We believe sincerely that the operation's outcome did not occur merely "naturally." As you know, Greg, we take seriously the promise that the "...prayer of the righteous avails much..." Be assurred that Christine's health is also at the top of our Hewlett agenda also.
