Good News

Well, there were some setbacks this afternoon, and Pastor didn't get in for his procedure until after six this evening. I received a call from my mom around nine saying that he came through the procedure just fine and is in no pain. The surgeon did not encounter any difficulties, and things are looking good for his surgery tomorrow.
As of yet, we don't know the time of his surgery tomorrow. Please continue to pray, and I will be updating the blog hopefully tomorrow evening.
Love,
Kendra

More Procedures

Hello.
Well, Pastor went in this morning for a vein-mapping procedure and some other procedure that will cut off the blood flow to the tumor in his leg. That way they will be ready to remove the tumor tomorrow.
Please continue to pray that God has His hand on Pastor Roberts' life...and on Sis. Roberts as well.
Bro. Anthony Harper came for the end of service yesterday and prayed a very powerful prayer over Pastor Roberts.
We are so grateful to Bro. Harper, and his devotion to the Pastor.
Thanks to everyone for all you are doing.
Much love,
Kendra

Preparing for Surgery

Hello, everybody.
Pastor Roberts will be going in Monday, February 28th for a procedure before his surgery on Tuesday. Please keep him in your prayers. This surgery will be harder to recover from than the last one, and none of us are looking forward to that.
Merry, Kelsey and Zach have been spending alot of time with their grampy this week, which I KNOW he's enjoyed! :)
Thank you to all you who have brought a dish for Pastor and Sis. Roberts, or cleaned the snow from their drive, or just called.
We appreciate you all, and couldn't do this without you.

Back In the Pulpit

Thursday night was Pastor Roberts' first mid-week Bible study since the surgery on his lung. It was great to see him back and preaching the Word. Today was his first Sunday back in the pulpit, and he did a wonderful job (as usual) and preached a great sermon! It was good to hear him again, especially in light of the fact that on March 1st he will have his next surgery, which will require a greater recovery period.
Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
We appreciate you all.

Pre-Op News

Pastor went today for his pre-op meeting. It looks like this surgery on his leg is going to be very complicated, and involved. He has to go the day before the actual surgery for a procedure, and then have the surgery the following day.
They will probably have to cut down into the muscle of his leg, and he will have radiation on the edges of the area where the tumor was, after it is removed. The radiation may take up to six weeks. Also he will be looking at physical therapy, and possible nerve/muscle damage to his leg.
Please continue to keep him in your prayers...not only for his health, but for his spirits...he is a little down after the meeting today.
Thank you all.

Pre-op Exam and Tests

Hi everybody.
I haven't posted anything in a few days, due to having walking pneumonia! But I'm better now, and am able to resume my duties. :)
Daddy goes tomorrow for his pre-op exam and I believe, some more tests to prepare him for his March 1st surgery.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. I know that God has His hand on him, and that everything will be alright.
Thanks for all your love and support.

Thanks from Sis. Roberts

I'd like to personally thank all of our friends, family and neighbors who have sent comments to James. This site is an encouragement to us both. We are keeping a positive attitude toward his up-coming surgery and recovery. He's done so well after the first surgery! We give God the glory!

Upcoming Surgery

Hello, everyone. Sorry for the delay in a new posting, but my little Kelsey and I have been pretty sick the past few days.
Here's the latest. Dad goes on the 16th of this month for a pre-op exam regarding the tumor on his leg. They've scheduled surgery for March 1st. Please be praying that this surgery goes very well...God is working, I believe it!
As far as the MRA on Dad's leg last week goes...he told me that he won't be getting news back on that. Apparently that was for the surgeon's benefit and not ours. :)

Thanks to Bro. Anthony Harper for taking over last Thursday night's Bible study. :) You are very precious to us, Anthony!
Also much thanks to Bro. and Sis. King for coming and taking over the past couple of Sundays. You are a very GREAT blessing to us and our church.
God bless you.

Pathology Report

Hi, everybody! Well, the pathology report from Dad's surgery last Monday came back today. His lymph nodes are free of cancer! Praise God! Thanks to all of you who have been praying for him.
Also, he goes in tomorrow, Wednesday, for a MRA scan on his leg. I'm not exactly sure what this scan is for. All I know is that it has something to do with the veins surrounding the tumor in his leg. I suppose we will know a little more about this by tomorrow evening.
God is good all the time! :)
