After more than a year on the breathtaking roller coaster of health crises, we are thrilled to let you know that Marisol is recovering after a very successful operation to remove a non functioning kidney.  Linda spoke with her sister in law earlier today.  She is in discomfort but the surgeon is very pleased with the results of the procedure and they anticipate full recovery.  The Dr's had expected the surgery to last as much as 7 hours, but everything proceeded without mishap and they were done in a little over 4 hours.  Arturo is very thankful and he asked us to share with all who have been following the news & praying for his wife since I began to put up these posts in September of 2011.  Please continue to pray for Arturo & Marisol, and their children Areli & Efrain.  The same day of the surgery an organization offered Marisol a job where she would be able to work in her field as a Nutritionist.  This is a big answer to prayer, please pray that the organization would take into consideration Marisol's situation and keep the position open until she is fully recovered.  Thank you again!  We are so pleased with Gods blessing upon our family, it encourages our faith mightily to see God work in spite of distance and failing resources!  Praise the Lord!
