I'm leaving my house soon to go see dad. Later tonight when we have some time I am going to read him some of the comments left on this site. If you want to leave him an encouraging comment please do! (If you don't have an account, you can comment anonymously and then sign your name in the comment.)
I know him hearing the names of those of you reading would really encourage him. He doesn't really realize how many people are praying for him (and some of you don't even know us personally, but we appreciate you praying for us!) Thank you!
Ohhhh, and I just hung up with my mom, we knew ICU would call her with any changes, well they called! He wanted his glasses (that were in her purse) so he could watch TV!! HA HA
God is good!

Wow! I logged in this morning, not expecting to see much to be reported, considering the long and difficult surgery that Bob went through. However, to see that he's been awake and coherent and wants to watch TV is SO encouraging. Tell Bob that I and my family and church are continuing to pray for him and that the workplace just isn't the same without him.

After I got out of the shower this morning, I logged on to see if by chance there were any updates on Bob. I too was pleasantly surprised that you have updated us all Karyn. Thank you for that. I know it can be difficult to keep people updated on information when the family is going through so much. Bob we are so thankful for the success of the surgery and we pray that God will truly deliver you from this cancer. He is in control and we thank him for that. Sheldon and I are constantly praying for you. We love you and Debbie. We are praying for you Debbie as well. God is SO GOOD.
Bob, we are going to miss you tonight at CR! We love you and Debbie so much and are so grateful the Lord brought you into our lives.
We are going to stand beside you in your recovery, both physically, and in prayer, for as long as it takes. I can't wait to see you up and around again.
Take care of yourself, and remember: we can keep Oreo for you as long as you need us to!
Love,
Dan, Angi, & Elijah
I just wanted to let you guys know that we have been praying for you and Madison said her own special prayer for you last night! I am so happy to see that things look good and that Bob has such a great sense of humor. Please let us know if we can do anything for you!!!WE love you guys!!!Keep up that snese of humor and positive attitude. It is something for all of us to look up to! YOu are a definte encouragement for others!
Bob, Dave and I are really praying hard for you. You were there for us when we needed you and we have never forgotten it. We have been married 17 years this last week and we feel we owe part of that to you. Get some rest and don't give the nurses too hard a time, okay?
Love, Teresa (Dave and Josh)
Glad to hear he wanted his glasses. Tell Bob we are praying for him. If your family needs anything while at the hospital just let us know.
Bob, we are praying for you and that you will have little pain and much success with the surgery. We have spoken before about the question “Why?” I can only say the following. (sorry for getting philosophical)
We suffer so God can be glorified. David suffered and God was glorified, Job suffered and God was glorified, Paul suffered and God was glorified, Jesus suffered and God was glorified and least of all I suffered and God was glorified. It is hard for one to see how suffering can bring glory to God but we see it already. Suffering gives those that love you the opportunity to be Christ like and glorify God. "I was sick and you looked after me..." May God bless you richly! We Love you and your family!
Bob I am glad to hear that you went through the surgery and doing well. I heard one of my professors say in a prayer after she had just found out that her sister had been diagnosed with breast cancer "Lord we know that breast cancer is no big thing for you." God is able to even cure cancer. Our prayers are with you.

Bob,
So glad to hear that you made it out of surgery as well as you did. It's also good to hear that despite the pain and fear that you've still got that awesome spirit. You're family's got that same spirit too. You should definitely take pride in that. God is good...all the time.
Just know that we're praying for you to work real hard in this area of recovery so we can continue to learn and be blessed by your expertise in all other areas of recovery. The SS may not be 'good' hands, but hey, at least it's in somebody's hands! We'll keep working hard at it, but just know that we're definitely expecting you to be back with us soon!
Grace & Peace,

I wanted to let you all know that
I have been praying for you and I am so glad to see the good news posted this morning! Your family has really touched my families life in many ways. Bob and Debbie were the first one's to really make Dan and I feel welcome when we started going to Brother's Keepers meetings. Karen was the first one to offer to give me a baby shower. You all are very special people! Please let us know if there is anything we can do!
We are so thankful God gave you such wonderful doctors to perform a successful surgery. We will continue to pray for you and your family in our prayers. And what an amazing family you have!!!
Keep your positive attitude!
We love you,
Josh and Sarah Pearman
We are so thankful that the surgery went well and that Bob is able to move his legs already. What an amazing spirit you all have!

Aubrey and I are glad to hear that things have gone well so far. We pray for your continued strength and recovery, and we pray that any cancer in your body will be defeated. We love you and hope to see you soon.
Danny and I and the kids are all praying for you, bob! We love ALL of you and are here to help in any way we can!
My parents and I are praying for continued recovery. What a blessing that you are so close and able to see him and offer encouragement. Lots of love.
Bob, I just heard about your surgery and am so happy it went well! I know you've got a bumpy road ahead but you're a tough guy and so many are praying for your speedy recovery that it will happen and soon! We certainly miss you here at work. No on "gets" my emails like you do! God bless you and yours. Mary Martin
Hey Robert [sorry Bob, you know how we always remember "The Way We Were"], tough break man. I was just going to email you in a couple of days after getting your address at the '73 reunion. I had no idea I'd be reconnecting this way instead. I've passed the news on to Adrian Savage who will contact the rest of '72. As I told you at our 20th, you were always a cheerful jovial soul that it was a pleasure to see coming down the halls of good old MHS. And I can still remember the tension and anxiety we in the band all mutually shared with you in that French horn solo in Russian Christmas music. Ahh those were the days. By the way, Montage'72 and the '71 MHS record are available online now at Dave Land's website: http://www.kd5fx.com/MHS/MHS.htm
Listen . . . it will be good therapy I'm sure. So, let me be the first from '72 to say get well soon so you can keep on shining "Like a Beacon on a Hilltop"! I wish you well my friend. Dale Murphy
Utleys we are praying for you that God will restore complete harmony within your body! I KNOW that God does what He says He will do and I KNOW that God is who He says He is! He is the healer and provider and he will do both I am confident! Karen, this is for you babe, I am so stinkin' proud of you! Your faith, belief and wisdom is SHINING through all your words and posts! I know that your parents are proud and so are we, your friends. Thank you for your example of faith through your words and prayer request! God is present and hearing all our pleas! I love you all- Ann Forrester
Of course he wants to see....Palin has been giving interviews and he wants to know whats going on!!
Tell Bob we are PRAYING hard at the Edmunsons! LOVE YOU KARYN - if you need anything - I AM FREE ALL DAY TO BE AT YOUR BECK AND CALL!!!!
