Most importantly Lois is out of surgery! Her appendix did NOT rupture and they only needed to do a 2" incision to remove the appendix. She is in recovery as I type and Michael said the surgeon thought she would be good to go in a couple days.
Second item of importance is a great big thank you to Pastor Jean Reardon of Brackettville, TX. As soon as she received the call that Lois was in the hospital, she left plans for this evening in the very capable hands of the church ladies and headed to Del Rio. She arrived just as Lois was going into surgery and stayed with Michael throughout. He feels very blessed to have had her there with him through the wait.
Michael also mentioned how very much he has come to love and appreciate his fellow riders. As soon as they knew what was going on at the hospital with Lois, they stepped up to take care of everything to put both Michael & Lois at ease about the ride. They have gone on to Brackettville and will meet the wonderful people in that community this evening. From there they will continue the ride to bring awareness to the children struggling with pediatric cancer together until Michael will be able to put Lois on a plane for Florida and join them. We had hoped they would have been able to take the van with them instead of packing their belongings on the bikes. I could be a tough trip to Brackettville! Actually Michael & Lois are the ones without a vehicle as the fellas needed the van with them. They may just have one rider out each day, but the ride will go forward. Good news on the home front. John has been cleared completely and will definitely join the riders in Austin. We certainly hope the four of them are all together by then. God bless Lois, Michael, John, Mike B, and Adolf from sunny Florida.

Michael and Lois, we missed you in Brackettville, and Lois, we are praying for a speedy recovery from your surgery. I am thankful Pastor Jean was able to be with you at the hospital. She is a special lady. I enjoyed visiting with Mike and Adolph. They're great guys, and they gave me a TShirt and medal for my grandaughter Shiloh who has kidney cancer. She is on your Hero page. Thank you all for your dedication to Pediatric Cancer Awareness. May God watch over all of you on your journey.
