Walter Ruh update 1-17-08

An email from Big Ray...

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers.
Walter Ruh had his follow-up with the surgeon in Atlanta yesterday. He said Walter Ruh was doing very well and as expected. One area of the incision is not healing as well as the doctor would like, but it should be better soon with continued cleaning.
Dr. Barrow stated Walter Ruh should now begin trying to do more activity. However, with this being the most traumatic surgery a person could have, he must use caution. Hopefully, he will be able to return to more normal activities within about 4 more weeks. Walter Ruh must be released by the neurologist in Knoxville before being able to drive. The seizures he had prior to surgery require a certain period of time without another one before driving can begin.
He is healing more each day and Dr. Barrow hoped he would see an even more dramatic improvement within the next 2-4 weeks. The headaches will most likely continue for some time. Remember, he just had major brain surgery 4 weeks ago.
Please continue praying for Shannon and the kids. This has been an extremely difficult time for them as well.
We love you all and look forward to greater news in the days ahead. God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
