Hello, thank you for your prayers, we serve an awesome God!! Please continue to pray for my brother Craig as he recovers from carotid artery surgery. He had a second mini-stroke Thursday which caused a small amount of residual facial numbness and slurred speech but was in the hospital so all was monitored carefully. The surgery this morning (Friday 6/12) went well enough but in recovery he was having complete paralysis on his right side so they took him back into surgery and said there was more blockage than they had anticipated. The end result is he is now gaining feeling as the day goes on so all good there. The other major point is God had His hands on my brother through all of this, the Doctors said he would not have survived a major stroke and had these mini-strokes not caused him to go into the hospital initially we would more than likely not have him with us anymore.

Thank you all for your prayers through this and going forward we ask God for a complete recovery and lifestyle change for him. All the family is fine and we are very encouraged.
