Tess Facing Back Surgery

Please remember our oldest daughter Tess in your prayers. She will be going in for back surgery on Dec. 17 at Kosair's Hospital in Louisville. She has a condition called Scheuermann's kyphosis, which is a curvature of the spine. We have been monitoring it for a couple of years at the Spine Center in Louisville, but it has gotten significantly worse in the past year. She will be getting rods put in and all that. 

Her doctor tells us that she will be in the hospital for 4 or 5 days if all goes well, so we are hoping to have her home by Christmas.  The doctor estimates 3-4 more weeks before she can resume much activity.  I have canceled all of our singing dates until mid-February to allow her plenty of time to heal before we go back out on the road singing again.

This is a major back surgery with a number of risks, and we really would appreciate your prayers.  I will keep you posted on Tess's progress.

Blessings to you,
