Saturday PM update

Steve is finally in the operating room after waiting all day. He hasn't had anything to eat since midnight. However, under the oxygen mask, he rested and waited peacefully. At present, the thorasic surgeon is operating on Steve to insert a chest tube. Steve is under general anesthesia and will be breathing through a machine during the surgery. The doctor said that there's a 5% chance he may need to open up Steve's chest.

Prayer request: Please pray for the surgery itself. Pray for Steve's strength and the strength of his lungs that they may resume functioning after the surgery.
