Sarah Dugger: After several weeks of dealing with severe neck and arm pain, Andre' has been diagnosed with three ruptured discs as well as some bone fragments and other issues in the C2-C5 area of his neck. In order to avoid any further nerve damage he will have surgery on Thursday, November 13, to correct the problem. Please pray for Andre to have some relief of pain Monday through Wednesday of this week. He is in a lot more pain than he is letting people see and the doctor won't let him do anything more than put ice on his neck. Depending on how he does on Thursday, he is planning on preaching on Sunday - although the doctor did say it will be a few weeks before he is back to full speed. Don't worry, I'll make him behave!
Thanks, Sarah

UPDATE: THURSDAY 11/13/08
The office spoke with Sarah about 6:15 this evening. She wanted to update everyone on Bro. Andre. He was out of surgery and in recovery. They had just called her and given her the room number and she was in his room waiting for him. The surgery went well - they did three fusions. She expects he will rest overnight and be released tomorrow. She will update us as she can. Please continue to pray for his very quick and complete recovery and healing.
