Tube Removed

Today, September 11, at 11:00am, Susette had her food tube removed. (Susette loves those 11s) And all seemed to go well. It was not a very technical procedure. The doctor just grabbed the tube and jerked. Ouch! But that is apparently the best way to remove it and standard procedure for removal. Susette is now resting and we are praying that the holes in her abdomen wall and stomach will heal rapidly. For the next 24 hours she'll just rest and let the holes close up. The doctor reassured us that there should be no problems but we are prayerfully anticipating that she will do great! Please join us in prayer.

Lord willing, we are booked to fly back to Haiti on September 18th. Praise the Lord!

HIP HIP HALLELUJA! Or so they say in Vienna. Apparently praying in German works too.
Such wonderful news, hope the hole closes soon unless you're into
g-rings?? Only kidding.
My prayers for a safe journey home.
