Dear family and friends, Many of you know that Chandra went in for a routine thyroid surgery, Thursday January 17th. After a successful removal of her thyroid, she developed a blood clot that they needed to go in and relieve that evening. Thank God she was at the hospital because the blood clot was obstructing her breathing. They acted immediately and took her into emergency surgery which left her with a temporary trach. So many of you have been asking about her progress and we are so thankful for all the prayers, phone calls and positive thoughts. We wanted a place to send all updates and provide you all with a place to leave well wishes. She has come a long way but has a long road of recovery ahead of her. We all know Chandra and she would want to reach out to each and every one of you and this is a way to help her stay connected. "So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:6 Thank you again!
