Underway

I just heard from Emily that Patrick has been taken back to the OR. The actual scope and following surgery is likely to begin around 5:15pm once Patrick is asleep.  Emily will await a call from Dr. Friel after the scope is complete to tell her whether or not the surgery will proceed as scheduled. If so, it will take approximately 4 hours.

Trusting in the lyrics of a favorite worship song that there is still much hope:

How great is our God,

Sing with me ... How great is our God,

And all will see,

How great, how great, is our God!
