I’m BAAAAAAAAACK!
This is Bob. I’ve finally come home after seven (!) weeks in the hospital.
I’m excited to be back with my family.
I’m very weak and I still get a little queasy in the stomach at times. I am to see a specialist Monday to check my ears—I can’t hear as well as I should and we want to make sure that the trauma of the surgery and long time in ICU did not cause permanent damage to my hearing.
I talked to my surgeon this morning. He told me that if I were older I would not have survived. He attributed my making it through the surgery and the complications after the surgery to my faith and the faith of my friends and family. So, I thank you for your prayers!! I am absolutely sure that God heard your prayers—they were powerful and effective.
I will be recuperating from this for a long time. I have no idea when I will be living a normal life. Sometimes this is daunting and depressing, but then I remember that I’ve been pulled out of certain death and given a new opportunity to live a life dedicated to glorifying God in every moment. I remember that my wife has been spared being a widow with three young children to raise, and my children still have their daddy.
Blessings upon blessings!!
Thanks again for your prayers!
