Thank you for your prayers for Julie. Her operation was at 6:30 this morning and the doctor talked to me about 8:30. He said that everything went well and they were able to save the ovary in the process. (He even repaired a small hernia that was left over from her gallbladder. There were no complications and he was able to do everything through laparoscopy. He said that he might be able to release her as early as tonight when he comes for a visit. We will will then stay a day or two in the city until we know that she is good to return interior. Julie is back in the room with me now and is in good spirits though understandably very tired. I will drop some tissue off at the lab today for a biopsy but the Doctor didn't seem to think that we will find anything negative. The kids are playing with some of their best friends today and they were happy to hear that Mommy is doing fine after the surgery. We are very pleased that we will be able to spend two more weeks in Croata with our new friends before we sail off to our 85 day furlough. This will also give us a chance to meet with the newlyweds, Nathaniel & Jordanna, who will be living in our house and keeping the ministry going while we are away. This time will be used to introduce them to friends, show them the city, and jointly host the Kid's Clubs. Thanks again for praying and we are all very excited for our upcoming visit to the US. While Christmas at the beach is fun, nothing compares to spending it with family and friends around a warm fireplace.
In Christ,
Todd
