Greg Oakes is home!

Greg was released from the hospital this morning. Andrea and I caught up with Greg and Chasity in the parking lot of the hospital. Greg seems to be doing great and is looking forward to resting at home for a few days! Please continue to keep the Oakes family in your prayers. I'm sure that cards and phone calls are great, too!

Update - Greg Oakes

Greg had his surgery this morning and is doing fine so far. Derrick stopped by early this afternoon, and Greg was still asleep. Unfortunately, during some of the testing on Greg's spinal cord, he bit his tongue and that will cause him some problems when he is fully awake later today. Chasity expects Greg to stay in the hospital until Thursday or Friday. If you are able to go by there, call, or send a card, I know they would appreciate the encouragement. Chasity is still working on getting their cruise rescheduled!

Prayer Request - Greg Oakes

If you were in Sunday School this past Sunday, then you already heard that Greg and Chasity Oakes need our prayers. Greg has a back injury that is causing him a tremendous amount of pain. He is in the hospital in Cartersville and is planning to have back surgery tomorrow (6/22/10). First, please pray for a miraculous healing. The surgery is somewhat common, but it's still serious. It would be great if they didn't even need to do it. Second, if God doesn't decide to heal Greg miraculously, then pray for a smooth surgery and quick recovery. Please also pray for Greg and Chasity to have peace and encouragement during this time. They would love to hear from you if you are able to call or drop them a card or stop by. Chasity's cell phone number is 706-346-5950. We'll update the blog when we hear more.

Now, for the disclaimer - I'm posting this so y'all will know about it. I don't have an iphone, and I don't actually know how to do this myself. I'm hoping it won't be hard to do.
