Warriors,

Just a brief note of thanks for your faithful intercession during this past week while both Cathy and I have been in the hospital. My knee replacement surgery was successful and has been rehabbing well to date. As you read this I will be out of the hospital and in our flat in Jo-burg, where we will be for the next 4-5 weeks. Cathy was in the same room as me for her three days of neck traction and x-rays. We were both released this morning (Sunday).

Cathy will have more tests and doctor visits this coming week while I will be going slowly as the surgeon and physical therapist have advised. The type of replacement that I had done was one in which did not use glue, which means the near term rehab is longer but the long term prognosis is much better. Pray that I will be faithful in not overdoing “what the doctor has ordered”. We will update you on Cathy’s progress as soon as we know more later this week.

To God be the glory,

Mark and Cathy
