Chris's surgery has finally been scheduled. It will be Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock at the Children's Hospital of Alabama in Birmingham( even though he is 28). He will be having both surgeries. The doctors feel that neither will be a total fix by itself and the two together could produce better results. One operation will be to put a shunt in his spinal column(the entire length of it) and the other will be to enlarge the hole at the base of his skull and pull the cerebellum down from its normal position. They will be performed at the same time.

Chris seems to have a lot of faith the things will go well but he is very low of spirit, anyway. It must be really hard to keep your chin up knowing that the chances of a negative outcome are higher than those for a positive one.

He sends thanks for the prayer support.

I'll let you know the outcome as soon as I can.

Thanks Matt. I v been wondering about Chris. Be sure to tell him that he has a lot of support and prayers on his side. A really heartfelt and special prayer is on the way for him tonight and will continue thru his ordeal. Robbie

Thanks alot guys! Chris made it through his surgeries today without a hitch. The last I heard, he was still in recovery but doing fine. I assume that it will be a couple of days before they will know if any brain or nerve damage was incurred during surgery but for now everything looks good.

I love to see the power of prayer en masse and I love the way this group comes through for one another time and again!

If any of you ever need anything, I'd be honored to lend a hand!
