Received this from Mary this morning. Praise the Lord that Paul is on the mend!
Good morning everyone!
THANK YOU for your prayers on our behalf! We definitely feel it! Paul is so grateful for your love and concern for him. He is recovering - but not sure he is the best patient!!!!
The surgery was approximately 2 hours with 1 hour wait in recovery. The doctor reported to us that the surgery went well on the nerve damage in the right leg. The bullet went in about 4 inches below the knee and wounded nerves but didn't slice so that was wonderful! Just continue to pray for the recovery which he said could be 3 weeks to 3 months on full usage. This controls the lifting of his foot. Presently, he has a "wrapped cast" but continues to do some bleeding. The bullet in the left leg could not be removed at this time. It is lodged deep in the calf of the leg and would cause extensive damage if was removed. The wound was closed and hoping in time that it will work out and be removed successfully. I think we will receive a medical paper so we don't set off the alarms in the airport x-ray!!
Bing and I stayed with him last night and will return shortly. We have had several pastors and families visit us in the hospital and keep me company while Paul was in surgery. Our friend Nino, kept Brandon company last night and "guarded" the house. One good thing from this is, we have had an opportunity to meet our neighbors around our house as they have been quite concerned for him too.
We love you and appreciate your standing behind us in prayer now and in the weeks to come!
Paul and Mary Wilson
