Decker Update October 1

Dear friends and family,
We just returned last night from our road trip out East, and are trying to get caught up on things around here a bit, but have a quick prayer request to pass on to you.

We'd like to ask you to please pray with us for Joey. (He is our 19 year old, college-sophomore son.) He's having a great semester in Northern Ireland, but had a mountain-bike accident a few weeks ago, and has fractured the scaphoid bone in his wrist. This bone can be difficult to heal, and he has been recommended for surgery by the orthopedic specialist. The plan is that he will enter the hospital Sunday night October 7, and have surgery sometime on Monday October 8. Please pray for the Lord to guide the hands of the surgeon, and give him great wisdom. And please pray for complete healing for this wrist! It's difficult as parents to be far away when a son is having surgery, but we know God is taking good care of him, and that he has been provided with excellent medical care in N. Ireland. We spoke to the professor on- site yesterday, and it sounds like Joey is and will be surrounded by people who care for him, and will look after him well.

Thanks for your prayers!

Mary for the Deckers
