Prayers Appreciated

It's been a wild few days around here. Jerel has been having back problems since December but lately it's been getting worse. On Thursday morning he went to stand up at his desk and was completely unable- and in excruciating pain. We were able to get in to see a neurosurgeon Friday morning and today have discovered that he has ruptured two disks in his back and his nerves are very upset about the whole thing. He is still unable to stand or walk and surgery is tomorrow morning. We are given no promises about the recovery of the nerve damage in his feet and legs- but we are really trusting God with this and praying that there will be a full recovery. We have been warned that it may take as long as a year. So, please feel free to pray about any of the above! Thanks!!!

YIKES! Praying for y'all. When my back went out last year, it was the worst pain imaginable. I'm so sorry Jerel (and you) are going through this! I hope the surgery helps!
