Good news!

Norm is out of surgery and the report is good. What they thought was a tumor turned out to be infected tissue around the spinal column in his neck. They removed a small part of the back of the vertebrae near the infection so they could treat the tissue. They’ve put him on antibiotics and I should be able to talk to him later this evening. I am so thankful and praise God for his hand of protection and grace upon Norm and myself. He may be going home in a couple of days. I will keep you posted. Thank you for your prayers and your kind notes of encouragement. I will remain in San Diego until he is fully recovered.

    It makes me tear up to imagine the relief you must feel! Our prayers continue, in hopes of getting you over this hump. If Norm feels creepy, it’s all the prayers washing over him!

    Hurray! I’m glad all went well. May God continue to hold you and Norm in the palm of His hand until all is back to “normal.”
