Prayer Request for Papa and Colin - Updated

*UPDATE* Dad is out of surgery now and doing well. Colin's surgery was also a success. God is good! Keep those prayers coming for a quick recovery for Dad and for sweet Colin.

Original Post:

Lena Kate would like for you to please pray for her Papa on Thursday the 17th. He will be undergoing surgery for a hernia that has developed likely as a result of prior surgery for colon cancer in December 2006. He also had hernia surgery last April so we've all been through this before. From prior experience Dad doesn't recover rapidly and it has taken many days for his bowels to "wake up" before he can go home. Please pray that the surgery is a success and he recovers swiftly. As you can imagine it is hard for him to follow doctor's orders and stay put (not lift feed sacks, etc.) If you would also include some patience prayers that would be greatly appreciated. Lena Kate is anxious for her Papa to be feeling good again soon!

Papa, Lena Kate, and me

One of my sweet college friend's baby boy Colin is undergoing heart surgery tomorrow as well. He was born with a heart defect and this will be his 2nd surgery in his short life...I believe he is approx 5 months old...maybe 6. He is a fighter and has been doing well, but this is a serious surgery to last 5-6 hours. Please keep his little body and family in your prayers too if you will.
