Adding these specific prayers to my list for you, Patrick, and for God to give you and your family His peace in this journey with an outcome far beyond what is expected or hoped for. May your body be strengthened in the weeks and months (and years) to come.
Praying for you Patrick… for wisdom and skill for the doctors…for the scar tissue to disappear…for a smooth surgery… for a good and quick recovery with minimal pain. Praying.
