John and carol- glad to hear Premier is going to cover surgery. At least that is one less thing to have to worry about. You are all in our prayers as this journey progresses. Please let us know if you or any of the kids need anything. You've got a lot of friends to lean on

Dr. Esther,
"You know the one time you care..." :) God will never leave you or forsake you for He holds you in the palm of His hand. I stand in faith and agreement that what the enemy meant for evil, God will turn around for your good. We're believing in miracles for you.
You're in our prayers.
-Marlene Hoke, L&D

Thank you for each prayer. My family and I have felt a calmness that is a supernatural blessing.

We are ready for resection and excited to return home with a goal of 7/16.

My prayer is that God will be glorified and that Christ's joy will be experienced by all.

John and Carol and our four blessings

Dear John, Carol, and family,
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you since we first heard...and will continue until complete recovery. Miracles happen daily....sometimes they hit close to home so that we take notice! We praise the Lord for His kindness to you in the great news about the surgery. I've been out of the loop for the past few years, but appreciate the updates on the blog so we know how to pray. If you need anything at all, I (Joni) am a phone call away with a lot of free time on my hands. Godspeed to you in your journey home.
Love from some faithful prayer warriors,
Mike & Joni Scott family
