Bro. Morgan went back for a follow-up cat scan today. The doctor delivered the good news that everything came back clear! Thank You Lord!  He will go back in four months for another follow-up. Please continue to lift him and Mrs. Ritta up in your prayers. Your calls, concerns, and prayers have been greatly appreciated.

Bro. Morgan is in good spirits. He managed to walk down the hallway and back this morning. They will be moving him into a regular room this afternoon. His progress with healing is going nicely. He complains of still being groggy from the medication but seems to be getting stronger each day. He is still on clear liquids but can start having non-carbonated fruit juice soon. Thank you again for being concerned and keeping them in your prayers.

Bro. Morgan was taken into the operating room shortly after 8:00 this morning. Once the surgery begins they estimate it will take up to four hours. I will update as news comes in. Please continue to keep the family in your prayers.

After Bro. Morgan’s most recent doctor’s appointment, they have determined that another surgery will be the best strategy for him to be cancer free. The spots on his liver have grown slightly, so on Tuesday, July 14th, Dr. Heslin will perform a liver resection. Two tumors will be cut away from the right lower lobe of the liver. Bro. Morgan will then spend eight to ten days in the hospital recouperating. The surgery will be done at UAB, downtown Birmingham. Please lift Bro. Morgan and Mrs. Ritta up in your prayers. Continue to pray for them along with their family and the hospital staff in the upcoming weeks. To God be the glory, great things He has done……and WILL do!

Bro. Morgan is still recovering nicely. The doctors have decided not to let him go early due to a low grade fever. They will keep him another night for more observation and reevaluate tomorrow. Thank you for your continued prayers.
