Tony is going into another surgery now

Thank you for your prayers regarding the surgery Tony underwent yesterday. The surgery was successful and we thank God for that.

The doctors are concerned that they are not getting the right intracranial pressure (ICP) reading. They are going to take out the bolt for monitoring the ICP. They fear it may be reading inaccurately, so they will remove this one, drill another hole in the skull and put a new bolt in which should monitor the ICP more accurately. This surgery has some real risks as it involves drilling into the skull and sticking probes around the brain. For those interested, here is a diagram of what this procedure looks like.

Please continue to pray for Tony. Yesterday's surgery went well and we know many people were praying. Continue to pray through this one as well.

Thank you all!
