I spoke with my nephew this afternoon. My brother should be home from the hospital in a day or two. Then they say he'll be doing some rehab. But he was out of surgery by 9:30 yesterday morning; and the surgeons said everything went well. The man has a lot of grit; so I'm expecting him to bounce back with vim and vigor.

Anne, Anyone who does this sort of thing has my total respect.
So I'm praying for my brother. And I'm praying for you. May the Holy Spirit watch over both of you!
