I got to talk to Vern yesterday and he sounded great. He told me that he had been up and around his room and was feeling pretty good. Seems like the doctors had been worried about a few potential complications, but that once they got started, everything went better than they had hoped. The operation, which they estimated would go from 9-3, got over about 1. WOW! It really shows the power of prayer.
I talked to one of my co-workers today and he said that Vern displayed a huge amount of courage last week. You would have never known that he was going in for major surgery on Thursday. He just continued going about his job, making sure that any loose ends were tied up.
The kids at NPCC are learning about power of prayer from Vern. I fielded questions from everyone on Sunday. Adults wanting to know how he was feeling and kids wanting to know when he's coming back! He is definitely missed.
Vern said that he should be home sometime early this week. And then it will be several weeks until he can come back to work. I feel a little lonely on Sunday mornings without Vern to cruise around with, but it's great knowing that the new Vern, version 3.0, will be back soon. Please continue to keep him, his niece Chrissie and the rest of his family in your prayers.
So until he is ready to come back I'll keep the "VernMobile" powered up and ready to roll. And if anyone hears it roaring up and down NewPointe's halls before he returns...I'm just making sure it stays in top condition.

Keep an eye on him! He's a hard one to keep down, and soon he'll be fighting to get back to work. I've seen him try to stay home, church is where he wants to be!
