Dearest Friends,

Thank you so much for praying; my daughter Joy is typing this letter. The surgery yesterday took over 8 hours. After several hours in the recovery room, they took me to a private room. I lost both of my adrenal glands. I am in quite a bit of pain today. I wanted to say thank you to you all; you have been so kind to contact me. I am to be in the hospital somewhere around five days. I will send another letter soon. Thank you for praying.
