Update From Dad on Walter Ruh

An email from Stacie...

This is an email Dad sent out earlier today. Walter Ruh is home and resting. He said the trip home (4 hr drive) was hard on him. He took some medication and went to bed. Thank you again, everyone for your love, care, and prayers!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
What an awesome God we serve! I could hardly wait to update you all. Walter Ruh's surgery lasted only 2 1/2 hours instead of 5 1/2. The bleed area was not as deep as first thought. The doctor was able to remove the old blood and correct the cavernous malformation. Even though he has 40 staples in his head and will still have a headache for a couple of weeks, he is coming home TODAY!
I cannot begin to tell you all how much the prayers were answered. We have received messages from people all over the country. The prayer network is amazing. God has truly blessed us and this will be a special Christmas remembered.
We can only thank you for your efforts and praise God for the results. Please continue praying that Walter Ruh will improve each day. His recovery time is expected to be about 2 months. Of course with you all praying, it will be sooner! Also, pray for Shannon and the family as they care for him. This has been a very difficult time for them.
We love you all and appreciate each one of you more than we could ever express.
God Bless!!!!!!
Big Ray and family

Hey, gang,
In my haste and excitement to send out the great report, I forgot to mention a HUGE answer to your prayers. There was absolutely NO paralysis or slurred speech after the surgery. As I had told you all last week, the doctor said this could happen, but it did not!
Again, what an awesome God we serve!
Big Ray
