Pray for my Friend

A letter from Judy Fay:
Dear Friends,

We have been watching an aorta aneurysm (AAA) in Rowan for several years. This year when the tests were done the Dr. told us it was time for action.

We would appreciate your interest in prayer for Rowan for two surgerys that are scheduled for Dec. 6 & 7.

The following is a note that I sent to family members today after visiting the Dr. that will be assiting in the surgery.

Hey, Gang...
We just got home from our appointment with the (sp???) Radiologist... He read the disk that had the pictures of the aneurysm and he will be assisting our Dr. with Rowan’s surgery on December 6 & 7.
He is younger than our specialist...and was more "open" about the surgery. When I asked about the "risks"...he laid it all on the table. "Well", he said, "It's serious, he could die. He could bleed to death, The aneurysm is big...very big. It's located in a difficult part of the aorta. It's near where the arties go to the kidneys. There is a new stint that we hope to use. If we find the aneurysm is too large for that we'll have to open him up using the old method. We hope to do the largest aneurysm on the 6th and then the other one on the 7th of December. He should stay in the hospital for 3-4 days after the surgery."
Wow... that all sounded a little different than going in for a "little procedure".... Rowan was very quiet on the way home. I know these words hang heavily on him even though he tries to talk "lightly" about the whole thing in front of 'me'.
Well, we serve a great God and we lay this all at his feet in prayer. We have peace and we are expecting the very best.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
Just ole me.... judy
