Christopher will undergo his 12th surgery on Friday morning. It's a
standard procedure every 48 hours that they have been doing, and they
will focus on removing infection and cleaning the wound and abdominal
areas that have been worked on. We are asking for a special prayer for
Christopher's body tonight - there is a possibility that there might be
another puncture in the small intestines. This could be serious, and we
won't know for sure for a very long time due to how long its taking for
the swelling to go down from all of the surgeries. Doctors think it
could be another 1-3 years until they heal enough to completely repair.
If there is a hole in the small intestines, Christopher could be set
back in regards to getting adequate nutrition for a very long time. We
are asking God to heal any hole that might be in the small intestines
causing leaking. As Doctors have told us, "Christopher's body is ready
to heal" and it all looks good, but we desperately need all of the
bodily fluids to stay out of his wounds.
Christopher is in good spirits, cracking jokes, begging for ice
chips, and asking to go for a lap or two around the ICU. My man is a
champion. I am a very proud wife.
We cannot thank you all enough for lifting us up in prayer. I have my Jesus, I have my husband, it is GOOD.

On April 29, 2014, my husband was the victim of a shooting at the FedEx facility in Kennesaw, GA. He was shot at point-blank range with a shotgun, and has fought to survive. This website is intended to keep family & friends updated, and to share some of our experiences and medical memories from the past two years.
