They have scheduled his surgery on Sept. 8Th . They will put the stint in on Monday. Then Robert, Roxie, and the kids will head home hopefully on Tuesday and be home on Wednesday. Then they will have to be back in Rochester on Sunday. The plans are to leave on Saturday which would be the Sept. 6Th to be in Rochester on Sunday. From what the surgeons said they will be able to do it by laparoscopic which is a much better procedure. The surgery will take 5-7 hours. The surgeon said that he would not have to stay in the hospital as long with laparoscopic surgery. On the stint they just go thru the mouth and do it. It will only take 30 mins to do the stint. The family wanted me to tell you thanks for all the prayers and to keep them coming they really do appreciate it and know that the "power of prayer" is working. They will be able to take Robert to church this afternoon at 4:30pm.
