eman update

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Today eman went into surgery at around 8am central time. The surgery took a little more than 4 hours to complete. Doctors were very concern with his lungs due to the fact that for years they have been working with minimal blood flow going through them. as a result, they feared that the lungs would not be able to handle the new blood flow.

i'm grateful to report that eman is doing well in recovery. His lungs have responded well, and he is showing signs of improvement. additionally, the doctors removed scare tissue from his heart which reduced his heart size to about 50%. They were also able to drain 5 liters of fluid from his abdomen.

all this in laymens term is good news. I thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you would continue to lift eman and the rest of the family during this time.

eman told that when he got well, he was going let everyone know what God did for him. that he wanted to use this experince to bring hope to many people. God is so good!

thank you all for showering us with your prayers.

blessings,
