Well, I'm packing my bags...or at least watching my dad pack them for me. The doctor released me and it's time to head back to Missouri. So many people have asked if the surgery was successful or how long until we can know if it worked. The doctor's advice to me was to take it slow and be patient. Perhaps I'll take a blog to give more detail on that later. But for now the bottom line is that I have about a month of slow recovery ahead of me before I return to normal activity, and it could be a year before we know how effective the surgery was at eliminating the pain.

Until then I'm thankful for the Lord's help, for the friends and family He's blessed me with, and for my beautiful wife and four precious daughters I will be home with tomorrow night!

1 Thessalonians 5.18

Hi Scotty,
I am so excited to almost have you back home. I am once again
amazed at God's faithfulness to our family and in your life. This
has been quite the experience and yet I am reminded how
blessed our family is. I love you so much and am standing firmly
on God's word and trusting that HE who began a good work in
you will be faithful to complete it! I'm dusting off your Chuck
Taylor's and telling Will to move over.... You're back!!! Mom

Scotty, It has been such a blessing to be able to keep up with your progress and to be praying for you every day! You are such a blessing to our children.
This is the first time I can ever remember that all 3 of our children have been excited about going to church! We are so so grateful!!!
Scotty, if it is the Lord's will, I would like to help you out as well when you get back. God has blessed me in allowing me to learn a new technique which allows the nervous system
to correct the function of the muscles and organs of our body. I believe that Dr. Oss has spoken to you about me. Scotty, we have seen some real miracles take place. God gets all the
glory! I have been using this technique for about 19 years and each day MARVEL that HE allows me to participate. I would love to share more with you when you are available. I truly believe
this could enhance your recovery process. Please be assured that there are NO dangers or possible side affects.

Scotty,
Glad you are on the road to recovery and hopefully home by now. May your recovery be good. We will be praying for you, and look forward to hearing good reports. I will check in with you later it is starting to rain and I am on my back deck. Don't think the warrenty would cover that on the computer. Be blessed my friend.

Love,
Steve and Robin Rains

Pastor Scotty,
We are blessed to know you and have the opportunity to be witness to your personal faith journey through this challenge.
You are doing life right in front of us and it is powerful. Larry and I have been praying for you and watching the site, did not think to actually
send a hey but one of the videos mentioned reading these was blessing you. I am shouting out a huge prayer for all of you, and asking for
supernatural recovery. Upon return if you need any local connections give us a call. Rita & Larry Gurian

Pastor,

1 Thessalonians 5:18 is a great scripture and it just shows us that we can be thankful for many things in our lives at all times. Thank you for ministering from the hospital bed! Glad to hear your doing much better and my wife and I will be praying for your continued healing. God Bless.
