Your prayers have been answered as the insurance company has agreed to pay for the surgery which will place a pace maker on Tommy's diaphragm. At this time, surgery is scheduled for July 8th. As mentioned before, at its most successful, this surgery will allow Tommy to breath without the ventilator. This, of course, allows for much more freedom as the pacemaker only has a small external mechanism. Praise God for the ease in dealing with the insurance company and the speedy scheduling of the surgery. Please pray for the success of the surgery and that Tommy will feel comfortable with the pacemaker. (Some patients feel anxious trusting it.) Also, please pray for Tommy and his family's transition to Tommy's move home in August. And, please pray for discernment for Robyn as she seeks home health care for Tommy. There are not many health care organizations in town trained for Tommy's needs. Please pray for God's provision. Again, thank you for your prayers. They have certainly been answered through the care and staff at Craig hospital! -- For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayers..." 1 Peter 3:12
