Just a quick update before the big day.
We were busy all day, took our grandson to school and then to Lowe's with our granddaughter. She found Dora gardening gloves and tools, so of course they came home with us. Scott turned over the garden for Brock and they planted tomatoes.
We had some visitors, and lots of phone calls.
The cleanse went well and wasn't bad at all. The surgeons office even called to make sure he drank his magnesium citrate. They said he is scheduled for 6 hours of surgery, more if the doctor needs it.
Our grandson won an award at pre school today for memorizing his bible verse. It went like this, "Jesus said He will always be there for us." It was such an unexpected blessing to have him blurt that out. Brock felt God was comforting him through a 4 year old. He was just beside himself. He attends an awesome Christian school and has an awesome teacher!
Brock's prayer concern for tomorrow is that "My wife Chris, 4 kids, Gary, Jill, Scott, and Tracy and 2 grandkids, Timothy and Kimberly and the rest of the immediate family be blessed through this." He says we will have it worse than he will as he'll be napping all afternoon and probably into the night. :)
I probably don't really need to voice my prayer concerns, but will anyway.
That there are no surprises as the doctor begins his surgery.
That he will be able to complete the surgery as planned.
That Brock suffers minimal pain.
Remember the magic hour is 8:30 am. I'll try to get the word out as soon as I possibly can through phone calls and this blog.
God has still blessed us with a peace we really don't understand and can't explain as we sit here 12 hours before surgery. To God be the Glory!
God Bless you all for caring for us.
Our God is an AWESOME God!
Chris

You and your family are in my prayers during this time and in the coming days. I can see God at work and I believe you are in His care. Stay strong, dear friends, as God gives you exactly what you need to go through each moment and day. He is with you and will carry you through it all!
Prayerfully yours.
We're holding you up on the west coast. And Brock, although Mike says your ability to pass gas is "legendary"...you might want to have someone run out and get you some peppermint tea. Speaking from two abdominal surgeries I can tell you it works...and doesn't taste all that bad either :-)
You are both loved. Sending hugs your way...
Mike and Sue
