Bill and his mother took Sam in for his pre-operation appointment today. Teesa had such a severe headache that she could not stand up this morning, so she did not get to go. She is disheartened that she was not able to participate in that visit. Please pray for her healing right now, specifically for the swelling to go down that is causing the headaches so that the headaches will subside. Please pray for renewed physical strength for Teesa and for continued strength for Bill as they will be spending the next several days at the hospital with Sam. Pray that Bill and Teesa will both be able to rest soundly despite the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements at the hospital. Pray especially that they will continue to rest in Jesus as they trust his power and goodness.
The Klears must be at the hospital at 10:45am tomorrow morning and Sam's surgery should begin around 1pm. The surgery is expected to take about 2 hours. Sam should be out of recovery between 4pm and 5pm. He will be in Pediatric ICU (at UNC Children's Hospital) for at least the first 24 hours of his stay, but possibly for the full 3 days if a "step-down" room does not become available. The surgeons will be installing a defibrillator through an incision made down his breastbone. Of course this surgery is very serious, so please pray that it goes smoothly and that there will be no complications. Pray for Sam's body to heal quickly and completely.
Bill and Teesa continue to express their gratitude to everyone for your gifts, meals, and especially your prayers.
Pray for Teesa's brother and Bill's mother as they will be spending the day at the hospital with the Klears.
