Day 5 , One day pre-op

Here is dad in the ICU still. He is not quite feeling
as bad as his surgery indicates. He is very tired,
and having very little chest pain. The staff at Aurora
South are continuing to prepare him for OR
tomorrow. Tests, showers, repiratory therapy, and
monitoring are scheduled for today. THAT and rest.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the outpouring of love for Charlie and our family! We are overwhelmed by the responses we are receiving. We would love to personally respond to each and every one of you, but know that dad and mom are reading all comments and they are immensely encouraged by your words. People all over the world are lifting dad up in prayer. It is amazing to see the outpouring of love.
Enjoy the photos. Dad wanted me to include as many as possible. One is circa 1975!!! Courtney and I snuggled on his lap. Here I am doing it again in 2011!!
Thank you everyone!

  2. Charlie, this is a great picture. I did not know you had been so young at one time! You are still very good looking, though! We are in constant prayer for you. Today we will pray for you nationally at 12:00. remember that I love you and that Jesus thinks the greatest about you. Get well soon so we can go to Panama. José
