I just wanted to let everyone know that Kirk will be going into the hospital in Bristol on Friday to have surgery. The stent that he had put in at Cleveland is open but for some reason his stomach doesn't seem to empty the way that it should. They are going to go in and try to either take the part with the stent out and reconnect, or do a bypass by pulling up another piece of the intestine and making a new opening in the stomach. Hopefully this will help relieve the bloating and fullness that he has all the time. The same doctor that put in his port-a-cath is going to do this surgery and we feel comfortable with him.
All of Kirk's other tests have been very good. The biopsy that he had done when they did the endoscopy was benign and all his other tests were good as well, so hopefully this will get him all straightened out. I will keep you posted on how things go. They said that he would probably be in the hospital for 4 to 7 days. As always, please keep him in your prayers as he is really dreading this.
Thanks to all and God Bless!
Kirk & Laura

Laura and Kirk, my prayers go with you, Matthew, and Chase daily. It is wonderful to hear that the biopsy came back with good results. I feel certain that this upcoming surgery will go well, also. Hang in there and know that we all love you!
We just caught up on your news. We will be praying for you tomorrow and we will be waiting to hear about the results from surgery on Friday. We plan on being in Southwest in November and we would like to come by. Hopefully, Kirk will be much better by then. Talk with you later.
Hope all goes well. We love you and continue to pray for God's will.
