I do not have much time.
Gary is in ICU and he is awake but in so much pain it would be difficult for me to measure it and be able to convey it to you.
I spent the night in the ICU with him last night and just got home and am going back right now to help the staff with his dressing change. We were up all night.
His abdomen is open and the incision is about 12 inches long. He has drains everywhere and has had extremely high blood pressure and heart rate because of the pain.
They have increased his meds and believe me when I tell you that if you saw his abdominal incision you too would understand why he is in so much pain!
I will update when I return this afternoon.
Love, Me

Love Conquers All
John 3:16
A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!

How are the boys holding up?
Dear Lisa,
Even though we are states away in Arkansas, we have been walking through the days with you via your blog (I just discovered that we could send you a message). Our prayers are for God's mercy and grace, and of course healing, through this very challenging time. Al and I send our love, our continued prayers and a big virtual hug...
Mary Davis
