This morning was so hard for both of us with many emotions and memories flooding our thoughts.   We prayed together before he went back to surgery and both vowed to trust God with the outcome.

It was only a little over 2 hours, but the doctor said everything went according to plan.  There was a risk of damage to the vocal chords, but his voice sounds awesome!   He's resting in the ICU for at least tonight, most likely tomorrow.   His color looks great, and his vitals are stable.   We are praising God for his hand and protection over Steve. 

Thank you so much for all of the prayers and well wishes.  We will have a road to recovery, but we serve a mighty God, have amazing children, and we are in this together for the long haul.   We appreciate continued prayers for recovery and travels.  We will have to return to Denver a few times for follow-up appointments over the next few weeks.
