>the hospital at 7 tomorrow.
>please keep curtis in prayrs as he is dealing with ghout on top of
>everything else!!! please join us in prayers that the ghout subsides
>before surgery and actually stays away while he is in the hospital. we
>don't want that on top of recovery!!!!
>also pray for curtis as he is a little anxious of corse. of course so
>am i and the children. he has had two other open heart surgeries and
>knows what to expect, but still!!!! please pray for god's touch of
>peace to be upon him and us, for god's hands of healing and guidance and
>wisdom during and after surgery, for godly nurses and doctors to be
>surrounding curtis, for the surgery to go exceedingly well, for recovery
>to be not so bad and not too painful, for curtis as he deals with all
>the adjustments and worries about what is going on with himself as well
>as his children.
>if all goes well, he will stay in icu for 1/3 days and recovery room
>3/5 days!!!! then he can come home and just recover in his own
>surroundings, smiles.

>also keep the children in prayers. they will be going up to their
>aunts's homes. unfortunately, they have to be separated and that makes
>both curtis and me a little edgy. we would have loved to have all the
>kids together, but that isn't working out. they will probably leave
>late tuesday or early wednesday morning.
>pray for me to have courage and strength and to face the lonely times at
>home alone etc. pray for me to feel god's love, peace and protection on
>all of us, kids, curtis, and myself. pray for me to find rides back and
>forth to the hospital, for kind and patient nurses and people to help me
>back and forth to the rooms, cafeteria, bathroom, etc. also praying
>that our blindness or more so my blindness doesn't make the nurses werry
>about having me around and the after care for curtis.
