Hello Precious Friends and Prayer Warriors -
After a long day, the Ryan's are both out of surgery! They both went in around 9:30am this morning, and Ryan Nixon came out around 12:45pm to recovery, with Ryan Michael following about an hour or so behind.
Friends, I cannot describe to you the majestic and incredible ways of our God! Dr. Cadedeau performed the surgery on my Ryan, and Dr. Klimptmalm did and incredible job with Ryan Michael.
Ryan is groggy, dopey, and in and out now in our little Recovery Room on the 7th floor of Parkland Hospital. We have a great team of nurses (who put up with a lioness of a wife asking questions at all hours of the day). Most everything is a 'go' now, but I will list below a few specific prayer requests for the following days and weeks:
-PRAISE! Thank you Lord for 2 successful surgeries!
-That the Ryans would heal perfectly and quickly
-That RM would accept RN's kidney (weeks 2-6 post-surgery are critical prayer times)
-That neither Ryan would experience infection of post-surgery complications
-For strength and rest during long hospital nights. :)
"Friends, we love you and rejoice because of you.. "for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction, we have been comforted about you through your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing fast in the Lord. What thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy we have because of you?"From 1 Thessalonians 3:7-9. What an incredible blessing!
We would love to have visitors as we head back home, so starting Monday, BRING IT ON to the Nixon house!
Much Love, and with a thankful heart,
Callie

Our littlest one woke Paul and me at a tragically early hour this morning, but it was wonderful to have the extra time together this morning to pray for you guys specifically. So glad to hear the day has been so good!
Callie,
Happy 25th Birthday!!!!!!!
I kept thinking about both of you all night long. How is Ryan this morning? And how is the precious birthday girl?
Praying,
Love yall both,
Carrie
Callie, we have been praying for you guys and the Michaels since we heard about this. We are amazed at this reflection of Christ and pray that He be glorified through the entire procedure. Scoop and I are praying as you have asked.
Grateful to know you,
Al
