Wow. What a long couple of days! God is so good! We are so, so happy to be this far. It has been a long day. Tim is very sore. They are not letting him eat or drink for a couple of days. His surgery took over 8 hours and for that time he was in traction and lying on his stomach. He has retained a lot of fluid. They are watching all of that very closely. One day at a time. We are currently still at the Montreal Children's Hospital. They have no wifi and no phones. I will try and get to a wifi spot and keep everyone updated. Prayer requests: less pain. Tim is tough but he is really sore. No infections. Tim has a ton of hardware in him and that is where infections like to go. That he can drink soon. He is terribly thristy. It is hard not to give him something to quench that thirst. I pray that my soul longs for Living Water as much as I see Tim longing for moisture in his mouth. Travel safety. Kevin and Allison will be leaving tomorrow morning for the long ride back home. Love to all of our friends and family back home!!! We feel everyone praying for us :) Incredible love and peace.

  1. Thanks for the update and the specific prayer requests. Also praying for a good night sleep for all of you. Tell Tim that we are so proud of him. A lot of people are asking how he is doing and they are amazed at what he is going through and how he is handling it. Love, Uncle Barr and Aunt Cher

  3. Praying for my buddy!! If you say that Tim is in pain then it must be super painful because he is so tough. I will pray fervently that the pain will be less! Tell him I will pray this every time I wake up tonight and throughout the day!! I'm really proud of him too! He amazes me! If the love of all of his friends and family could take the pain away it would be gone in an instant. I am constantly amazed at how many lives he has touched! God has used him in a might way and we know that God isn't finished with him yet!!
    Love to you all!
