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.

The plan for the day was to have him up walking. After the first attempt this morning, we did find him sitting up in his bed. He had managed to sit up, stand and sit back down. The walking will have to wait until later. He is still dealing with pain. That still sounded good to me considering where he was at this time yesterday. Praise the Lord! The day is still young and he may take his steps yet. Thank you for the continued prayers. Will update again later.

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.
