Well, about 9:00 this morning our RockStar had his thoracic surgery at the UW Medical Center. It only took about 45 min for Dr Mulligan to remove a wedge of Tim’s lung that contained all 3 of the “lung issues”: the one calcified nodule plus the infection and the 2 new, smaller nodules. The wedge was sent to the path lab, and we should have results in 5-7 days.
Tim got to his room (on the 8th floor overlooking Huskie Stadium) at 1:00 p.m., and from there it’s been a “normal” day after just having had surgery: much pain, nausea, etc. They keep telling him he’ll feel well enough in the morning to go home, but as yet, he’s not buying!
During yesterday’s appointment, Dr. Turtle, our transplant doctor, said his “gut feeling” is that we’ll give Tim a week or so to heal from the surgery & then proceed w/ transplant.
Thank you for praying and for your many words of encouragement to Tim. He’ll be back online soon!

God is good all the time; it’s a matter of trust.

Good Morning our Rock Star and Family, on my way to help Sarah for church and wanted to see if you was up to letting us know how you are doing? I am finding with this Bible study we are in that Isaiah is such an awesome book…. this is a helper… 33:2 O Lord, be gracious to us (Tim). We (Tim) long for you. Be our (Tim) strength every morning, our (Tim) Salation in time of Distress… when I put my name in there it bring tears to my eyes.. How about you…I am so thankful I have him.. Much Love and Prayers
Many prayers your way for a speedy recovery. You are an inspiration and I know your journey is long. Stay STRONG!
