Update from Melissa
/Please share this update with my friends at Hollydale:
David is out of surgery. The crohn’s disease was more widespread than anticipated so they had to remove more of his small intestine. He is in recovery and my mom should get to talk to him once he wakes up. The big hurdle was making it through surgery and praise God for his blessings so far. The recovery will be difficult and he is still dealing with mesothelioma which is responding to chemo for now.
If anyone would like to send a card, here is the address. My mom has felt the love and prayers from Hollydale and I appreciate my Atlanta family.
David and Donna Badgley
Your Sister in Christ,
Melissa
