I hesitate to ask
EKnight:
Thank you Darren. There is no need to apologize. You have had your own trial to get through and I am glad you are back at BT.
Jack had the surgery on Monday and so far, everything has gone beautifully. The doctor was able to save the kidney and spare the nerves required to have children naturally. Jack was very concerned about having children and hopefully some day he will because he would be a great father.
He is recovering well. His spirits are a little down because he is not allowed to eat or drink for four days and he had not eaten two days before the surgery. His normal diet does not include fruits and vegetables but last night he told me he wanted fresh fruit!! Now I know he must be hungry!
I thanked God and continue to thank God for sending us the best doctor possible for this surgery and for having the insurance to pay for it.
I pray that Jack continues to heal physically and mentally and that he can get through the last two rounds of chemo without anymore setbacks. Please pray that this trial brings Jack closer to our Lord and that it heals the conflict between Jack and his brother TJ. I pray that they become closer as brothers.
Thanks everyone! Your thoughts and prayers have been a source of strength comfort to me. I wish I had mentioned this whole thing sooner. Lesson learned.

hi eileen,
i am so grateful for your update on jack's surgery. i cannot imagine having to go through what you are going through with your child. but, i hope that if i ever had to experience the journey you are on with jack, i pray that God our Father would work mightily in me to give me physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. and this is what i pray for you eileen. i also ask our Father to infuse His power and healing into jack, and that your dear son grows stronger and stronger with each day that passes. i am thankful that this time in his life is meant for his learning that God is in control of ALL that pertains to life. and am hopeful that your jack truly understands the benefits of a healthy diet. we can look to ray smith as our example of that truth. i also pray for your son jt that he will be drawn closer to his brother during this time. NOTHING can be more important in this life than loving others, especially family. i will keep you in special prayer eileen because you are my sister in Christ and i love you, AND, being a mother myself i can feel the pain in your heart for your child. please try to go to our Father for your peace of mind dear sister. He will calm your anxiety and He is ever able to carry you through this challenging time.
love in Christ,
claudia
