Thank you all for your kind words and especially your prayers!! He had 1/3 of his right lung removed because of a large mass, and when he woke up from surgery, he had very little feeling from the waist down. He could not sit up, hold himself up or stand. Come to find out, he had a spinal stroke during surgery. Very rare but it happens. He has been in a wheelchair for the last 3 years and now, the cancer has returned. The Doctors told him in December that he had probably a year left. We are praying that GOD will heal him, but he is in control.
The strange thing about the spinal strokes being rare..... One of our deacons from church had open heart surgery. He also had a spinal stroke and is now in a wheelchair with no control from the waist down. Rare?? What are the odds that I would know 2 people that have different surgeries and in completely different cities have spinal strokes?
Like I said, I love my quilting sisters (and brothers)!!!! Thanks again for your kind words and prayers!!
Blessings!!
