We hear that the doctors will be able to use a flap from the left leg to cover the abdomen. This is preferable to using skin from a donor (which was a possibility). They have not yet done the flaps, but they've reported that he is doing well and the surgery should last another 4-5 hours (if this is the case it will be much shorter than the original estimate). Thanks so much for your prayers. God continues to hold Louie in his hands.

  2. Jeremiah 29: 11-14

    "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. I will be found by you," says
    the Lord, "I will end your captivity and
    restore you fortunes. I will gather you out
    of the nations where I sent you and bring
    you home again to your own land."

    This was read over Cory at the beginning of our hospital stay and when I thought about the journey you are starting, I remembered this verse. God saved Louie for a reason and He will save Louie again, his job on this earth is not done. Louie still has alot to teach everyone, from his doctors to his friends, a lesson of faith, determination and love.

    You, Ruthie and the girls are always in our thoughts and prayers everyday.

    Cory, Cheyenne and Jennifer Morton
