The Gardner Family

Its been a long 2 weeks for the Gardner family, but are glad to be back home.

After attending a great conference in Sylacauga, AL with Outback of America, we headed off to Huntsville, AL to prepare for Danielle's surgery, which was aimed at diagnosing and/or correcting some female organ issues that had been worsening over the past year.

Her surgery took place on Tuesday, October 21st and we were able to come home to Chelsea, AL on Thursday, October 23rd. She is recovering well at home this week though she is fighting a possible infection with doctor-prescribed medication for over the next 7 days.

Although the doctor did identify some problems, which he addressed immediately, we are also expecting to learn more in a follow-up visit scheduled for November 11th.

We praise our LORD for having His hands on her during the surgery, and giving the doctor discernment and knowledge needed to help her. We also want to praise Him for the wonderful Christian family we have here in AL in the form of Vapor Sports Ministries staff and other local friends that have come to minister to us in a number of ways.

We ask for your prayers as we continue to deal with her health and the prospect of another surgery before the end of the year. We ask you to pray specifically for strength and healing on Danielle's body, so we can better focus on the purpose that our LORD has set before us.
