surgery : success!

Mark had his surgery Friday afternoon. 
It was a surprisingly long wait... and they informed me i could not be in the room with him... so my dad came to Campinas with me, and we spent some amazing father-daughter time while we waited for visitation hours. 

Can i just say we had NO IDEA what to expect? wow. 
i got to the room expecting to see him in his jeans and Buckeye t-shirt...
oh but he had the whole humiliating hospital robe and IV tower! we both laughed for a good 10 minutes! i only had a couple of hours that i could be there, so we watched The Office on our laptop, went down to the cafeteria for a soda (he put jeans on for that), and hung out on the varanda to watch city lights. 

and of course, a la Kaiser, we left the hospital on Saturday morning, headed straight to the church leadership retreat, and from there went straight to a youth pizza party that night! 
poor Mark, he was in pain! but such a trooper! we left the party very early (11:00pm) and rested a lot. 

the pain is now gone! and he is even driving himself everywhere!

ministry is going well. please pray for our interns as they also engage in God's work here. 

much love 
kaisers
