Susie's in recovery

Thank You Lord!

Dr. Horner met with the girls and me to let us know that they successfully removed the tumor and that Susie now in the neurological critical care unit. The surgery took somewhat longer than expected due to veins that were in the way. She will be in the critical unit for probably 24-36 hours. The main concern is to watch for blood clotting and swelling during this time.
We are waiting for permission to see her.

It is so humbling and wonderful to know SO MANY people have been praying (and are still praying) for Susie and our family! We have been informed of many individuals and prayer chains from places all over the country that have been activated on Susie's behalf. To all of you who are among those dear people, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

And of course PRAISE GOD for His great love and care for Susie and His grace in all of our lives.
We will let you know more after we have a chance to see Q.

Love to all,
Scott

Praise be Jesus Christ! I am at a loss for words. When Marylou told me about all of this. I had no idea what to do, say or think. All the emotions I had had sunk and all I could be was angry. Angry at God. All I could do was cry and be in awe. How could our Heavenly Father have done this? But the thing is...he works in mysterious ways. And though Susie and the rest of the famdam are suffering along with famliy and friends, we all have come together in Christ through his love and generosity of others through the community. I love you, McCracken family!! You will always be a family to me!

I've not been able to form coherent words to pray today (I cling to that promise that The Holy Spirit intervenes when we can only groan and no words come) so I've just been lifting each of you up by name over and over, over and over...Susie, Scott, Haley, MaryLou and Ellie, Molly and Josh, we LOVE you! In Jesus name we pray that strength and comfort, peace and healing will be yours today and throughout Susie's recovery. THANK you for your caring for us in keeping us updated. We won't stop praying!
