Good news! Dad's surgery time has been moved up

Hi family and friends,

This is Mike - we just got a small but encouraging piece of good news. The Neurosurgeon (Dr. Asher)'s assistant, Teri, just called to say that she had successfully rescheduled Dad's surgery for a bit earlier in the day tomorrow (Tuesday). On the original schedule, we were supposed to arrive at the hospital at noon for a 2:30 OR time. Now, Teri's asked us to arrive at 9am, so we're concluding that the new surgery time will be around 11:30am. We wanted to let you know so you could pray for us, but also to share the news, since it's potentially a good thing. Teri had told us that she wanted to try to move the time earlier in the day, both to minimize the chances of the surgery being delayed due to schedule issues, and to make sure that Dr. Asher and his team were fresh and at the top of their game. We're glad she managed to do it, and that we have caring, competent folks like Teri working on our behalf.

Grateful for your love and prayers,
Tom & Lynne
Mike & Tina
Sean & Anna

So thankful to hear that the surgery can start earlier and even more thankful to know that you are surrounded by friends and family. We are thinking of and praying for you today and will be even more so tomorrow.

Love to you all.

Dear Tom and Lynne,
We had you in our thoughts and prayers yesterday during Mass, especially during the cummion service here at St. Agnes in Naples, Florida.
Our prayers tomorrow will be to give you strength, and to guide the doctor's hands for an excellent outcome.
With caring, Joan and Jerry Scharf
