The picture at the beach was last June before Bob nearly left us to go see Jesus due to an aggressive episode of Ulcerative Colitis and bowel perforation. 

Then after a month at Virginia Mason we got to bring him home on IV nutrition, an ileostomy, in a wheelchair.  

Through it all he has been such a trooper. He’s has recovered well however he still has many medical issues coming up. 

He just had a second surgery to attempt to reconnect things. Please be praying for Bob as he still needs to have a third surgery in 6-8 weeks. 

He won’t be working for some time so please be praying for complete recovery, that reconnecting things is successful and that he will continue to live a quality life and be able to do the things he loves like pickleball, snowmobiling and playing with the grandkids.
