Update on George's surgery

Dear praying friends,

Just to let you know George is home and resting somewhat comfortably at this time. The doctor said the leg surgery was more than she had expected it to be, but that she was able to remove everything. Later they will let us know if there are any concerns regarding the supposed bacteria pocket.
The post-op care at home will take some time, so I'm grateful that my mother-in-law is here to help with my children, cooking, etc.
We appreciate all your prayers, kind words and support! I can't wait to see my husband running around this place again, like he always does :)

Gratefully,
Stacey

Prayer Request - George's leg

Some of you may know that George is having issues with his leg. We've received some interesting emails about the stories that are circulating regarding it.
The real situation is that George had an old injury that resurfaced and has caused him pain, a staph infection, swelling and many trips to the doctor since October. This Friday they will operate on him to remove the hard pocket that most likely contains bacteria and the pus pocket that it continues to fill.
Since neither pocket is near any organs or bones and it appears to be on top of the muscle, the prognosis is good. Also the fluid they drained doesn't show any signs of cancer and hopefully the bacteria pocket won't have any as well.
If you remember, please pray for George's surgery and recovery. He's not one to sit around much, so being layed up won't be easy for him. Thank you for lifting him up to the Great Physician.
