Prayers Requested

I haven't posted in a while because I've been in a bit of rough spot lately; my fiancée Kristen had a total colectomy (removal of the colon) last week because her Ulcerative Colitis had spread through the entire large intestine and the disease continued to be completely out of control. She did fairly well with the surgery; she'll have an ileostomy bag for a few months while her surrogate bowel (called a j-pouch) is healing. Unfortunately, today she was readmitted because of what her doctors believe is a bowel obstruction. It's treatable and not uncommon for her surgery, but it is still painful and difficult her her. I also had back surgery yesterday which went well, but makes it impossible for me to drive up to Syracuse to be with her. Her parents are taking good care of her and her prognosis is very favorable, but as she continues in the healing process, we will definitely need the healing, guidance, strength, and hope of Go
