Around noon today the surgery was changed to 8:00 a.m., Friday. So that means we have to be there at 5:30 (ouch!). We did all the pre-admit, EKG, and lab work this afternoon. The medical term for the procedure is "thoracotomy" (you didn't know I could type a word that big, did ya). After the surgery, recovery, etc., he'll be going to ICU. How long he's there, obviously depends on his recovery. We're not sure how many days he'll spend in the hospital, we're told to plan for 3-8 days.
He's nervous about the whole ordeal, but ready to get on with it. He was really bummed when we found out about the rescheduling, since that meant another 24 hours of anticipation. He spent a couple hours this afternoon cleaning and organizing in the shop. I've been asking the Lord to calm his fears and worries.
Love you all,
Kim

Ray, you are always in our prayers and we will definitely be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at 8:00 tomorrow morning. It was so good to see you and Kimmie in Naz last Sat. Made my trip even more special.
Love you guys,
Becky
