A Successful Surgery!
We prayed. You prayed. We all prayed. God heard us! The surgeon came out at about 12:45pm and said it was a success! They were able to fuse the bones, repair the ligaments, and further stabilize his spine. We went in to see him shortly after and he looks great. Our family can't thank you enough for all the prayers. We believe that it's because of the people across the whole country that are lifting dad up in prayer that his fever is lower (down to 100.6!) and he made it through this serious surgery. He will be sedated for the rest of the day, and tomorrow once he comes out of sedation the doctors will be assessing his condition further. We are all just feeling so thankful right now. The sun even came out when the surgery ended. God is so good! When we walked into his room and saw him resting, we all took a huge sigh of relief. Mike broke the silence by yelling out, "HE"S BACK, BABY!!!!"

Praise God. He is giving us such an amazing story through faith and prayer to share about his power to heal. I have emailed every YL area across the country that I know people in and have engaged them in praying for Pat. He is such an amazing person and everyone needs to know it.
I love you guys!

Our God is AMAZING! I'll continue to pray for continued healing. I also am encouraged by this nation (I'm way out here in Washington DC) of believers who have been true prayer warriors these past few days! God is so GOOD!

Psalm 62:6-8
"He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
"On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
"Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us."
You have a patient who's a true fighter.. a family that refused to give up on him.. an expert medical team.. people all over the country saying fervent prayers.. and most of all, a God who obviously heard those prayers!
May the Good Lord continue to heal one of the nicest men on the planet!

Keep loving, praying, writing and laughing (a true Bohrman family characteristic). Thanks for keeping us all updated so we can pray specifically for Pat's needs and for the entire family.

Thank the Lord for the success of the surgery. Again, thanks to Pat's family for keeping us informed in such detail. Every time I woke last night the Lord put Pat on my heart and I lifted him up in prayer as I continue to do. God bless each one.
In His love,

This is nothing less than another testimony of the power of our great God! WOO HOO! I don't think our family has ever prayed as fervently as we have in these past 6 days, and it's deepened our faith. Thank you, Amy and Mike for posting these "windows" into your family's world along with your authenticity and blatant trust in God in the midst of what I cannot even begin to fathom have been heart wrenching days and sleepless nights for you all.
"Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength..." Praying you are finding this to be true. I believe God has SO much more in store for Bohr and how He plans on using him in mighty ways in the future as he has in the past. We continue to pray... Bless all of you.
Love you guys.
Susan and Roger
The Bednarski family has all of you in our prayers,
God Bless
