Still going & going

Brandon got out of surgery around 1:30 today. That is central time for us, and we still haven't seen him yet. It is now 5pm. The doctor came down around 1:15 and told us that he was out of surgery and that things went good. We were shocked though when she told us that she had to graph most of his right arm, she graft the shoulder, bicep, and forarm. Alot more that what we were told or thought would happen. I just hope that when Brandon wakes up he will be ok. We only though that his bicep would be graphed not the majority of his arm. She said that it just wasn't healing properly so that is why they did so much. She said his face is healing nicely, but it will take time. He has waken up from surgery, but he is in a lot of pain. And the pain is around his shoulder. We need to pray that that pain goes away. It kind of worries me, because the pain is suppose to be in his leg. So the nurse said she is shooting him up with a lot of drug so he is resting comfortably right now. Hopefully soon we will be able to go and see him. He will be spending the night tonight, and we will know more tomorrow. Everyone has been so supportive. Thanks for all the emails, messages, calls and everything you all our doing. Its nice to know that we have support during this time. I will write more later.

Oh if you would please pray for the family of Pastor Ray we meet his family at the hospital while waiting all day. A week ago he was in a car accident, and he has been in trauma 1 since then. He has numerous things wrong with him, and they aren't sure he is going to make it. He is a pastor here in Nashville at Cumberland Presbyterian Church here on Nolensville Rd. So keep his family in your prayers. If you want to read about him go to www.growingandgrowing.com.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for everything.
