The night went very well. They came in every hour to check him, ask him questions and have him move. He continued to improve in the quality of all areas. His speech is doing very well. He is struggling less and less for words and the words and sentences are very clear.
The second surgeon was in this morning and he said he feels as if they got all of the tumor. We will have to wait to later in the week to know more. He will have a MRI again today to evaluate the surgery site and see if they can see anything remaining. They are starting to remove some of his tubes as well.
Keep praying!
It is so encouraging to hear these positive reports of the early stages of Dennis' recovery. Ellen and Dennis, you have touched so many people with your compassion for others, as you can see many are now trying to return the favor with prayers and positivity! Thank you for the progress reports.

ReplyDelete"The Hurt & The Healer" by MercyMe
Why?
The question that is never far away
The healing doesn’t come from the explained
Jesus please don’t let this go in vain
You’re all I have
All that remains
So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering
I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into Your arms open wide
When the hurt and the Healer collide
Breathe
Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do
Pain so deep that I can hardly move
Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You
Lord take hold and pull me through
So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering
I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When the hurt and the Healer collide
It’s the moment when humanity
Is overcome by majesty
When grace is ushered in for good
And all our scars are understood
When mercy takes its rightful place
And all these questions fade away
When out of the weakness we must bow
And hear You say “It’s over now”
I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When the hurt and the Healer collide
Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here
When the hurt and the Healer collide [x2]
Jesus come and break my fear
Awake my heart and take my tears
Find Your glory even here
In Him,
Kieren
