Just remember all your Multiplication Tables and you will fly through the tests.. :)

I/We are all thinking about you and your lovely Family, and are offering up many, many, Prayers of Comfort, Faith, and for the Surgeons, prayers of wisdom, sharpness, and abilities to do what is needed..

Here is an example of how God often helps them -- One of the best Heart Surgeons, Dr. Russell M. Nelson, was operating on a very important man`s heart once..

Opening up the chest cavity and looking at the heart, he saw something he had never seen before.. One of the heart valves on the top of the heart had - dilated - grown - too big - for the opening and a significant amount of blood was leaking because of this..

He had never seen this condition before, and was worried a little about how to fix this..
He decided to say a Prayer of Faith, for the man, his family, and then for his own abilities and his team to somehow fix this heart valve so it would better seal the opening in the heart..

He first had a distinct impression in his mind that said - "reduce the circumference of the ring", which he said out loud to his colleagues..
But how?? No one had ever done that before, in the history of open heart surgery...

He said that he then saw in his mind, an - image - of this heart valve and all around the valve, there were sutures, so far apart from each other going all around in a circle of the valve..

This Surgeon then knew what he had to do, and he did exactly what the picture in his mind looked like on the heart valve.. He was able to determine from the picture in his mind, the exact distances for these sutures, etc..

When the Surgeon had finished making the sutures all around the heart valve, he pulled the ends tight, and the valve became smaller, and it fit - exactly - correct in the man`s heart valve opening.....

The patient recovered from this surgery just fine, and went on to live his life...

Brother, this is just one of many - more than there are numbers, - examples of why one of the names of Jesus Christ, our Savior, in the Bible, is The Physician.....

We all love you, love your sweet Family, and are praying Prayers of Faith, for you all..

Love you guys,
Dan F
 
I hope for the best possible outcome for you Ron!

Can`t even imagine the fear you have. And it`s totaly understandable that you have fear. It`s human to feel it. Know it`s time to kick this cancers ass!

Wish all the well for you and your family and friends

Prayers offered for you and your family and friends. Having just been through something involving cancer and surgery, your fear is to be expected. Please allow the comfort that can only come from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, into your heart and mind and know that He has you.
 
Ronkh- I trust my best wishes go without saying...hope you have confidence in the Doc doing the work.

How long is the surgery expected to last? What`s expected as far as recovery time/process?
 
Best wishes tomorrow early morning to Ron. He goes in to get prepped at 5:30 am, surgery scheduled at 7:30 am. Power in prayer, collective power in collective prayers. Ron and I chatted an hour or so ago. I told him he’s giving Job a run for the money. ;)
 
Got a text from Steve, Surgery went well and Ron is in recovery. Have to wait for the Pathology report. God is listening to all of us!

sorry, I can`t seem to upright this pic of Ron at Moffitt cancer center. I was able to meet up with Ron today at 0515 hrs for his pre op check in, along with Ron`s son Stephen and Butch, an old friend of Ron`s from his emt/medic days in CT. Ron was wheeled into surgery around 0730 this morning and the surgery went well. the mass appeared to be very fibrous and there is a chance it may not be tumorous, but that diagnosis will have to wait for when the final pathology comes in. after some time in recovery, Ron was taken to a short term icu where we finally caught up with him at 1400 hrs. he looks good and is not in any pain, but is ready to go home. if everything goes ok tonight, he`ll be released tomorrow sometime. of course, therapy, more mri`s , and doctor visits are in his future. thank you to everyone for your prayer support, I know it means a lot to Ron.:)

So...maybe it was just a microfiber towel that got misplaced? :D

Seriously, glad everything went well, Ron.
 
Had this conversation with Ron pre-surgery. ;) I’m sure once they got thru that thick skull there was lots of room to work. Yeah, I’m kiddin’ Ron, we love you kid.
