Tommy Socks

Kate and I are here at the hospital going through all of the pre-surgery prep work. She just had the green life savers (stealth MRI markers) put on her head and she will be getting her MRI soon. Presently, she is working on her CBS Bible study (1Kings & 2Kings).

Being at the hospital again is like dejavu, several of the nurses and hospital staff are the same as last year. Good to have some familiar faces around.

Kate wore her Tommy (Hilfiger) socks today in honor of her neurosurgeon, Dr. Thomas Forget. They say "Tommy"on the toes. Dr. Forget said that he will be sure to check those out during surgery.

Everything is still on schedule. Thank you deeply for praying for us. Please leave some comments during the day to let me know you're out there.

Blessings,
Dave

I'll be praying all day for each one of you and the surgical team. My scheduled time is 11, but have no worries, that the prayers will keep coming.
God bless you all and may he give you a measure of peace in your hearts today.

Dave and Kate,
Here are a couple of prayers I have been praying for you today...

Loving Father, I entrust Kate to your care this day: guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical team people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed. Kate may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with You and those around her. Through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Jesus, Your array of miracles. A true manifestation of Your Divinity. Draws the admiration of searching souls. Never let it be said, "Miracles do not exist!". Your are the living example of such actions. Bless me with the faith to always believe. To affirm the Supreme Power of Your miracles. Be they of a physical or spiritual nature. Grant me the aptitude to instantly perceive The souce of all supernatural occurences. So only Your Excellence shall be glorified. Jesus, my existence is a wonderous miracle!

God be with you!!

To Kate and Dave from Mary Jo

I will be praying for you as I leave Columbia, Mo. this morning but I promise I won't close my eyes while I drive!!!
It will probably take me 30 min to load the car because I'll have so much stuff to bring. How can people travel so light?
I will stop in Warrenton to the outlet mall to find soccer gram a SHARP veggie peeler. I might even put it in her stocking if she has been good and she has one??
You know I love you all very very much.
Hugs and kisses and prayers will be blown your way.
Mary Jo
ps I don't know who will be pacing the floor tho most today grandpa or me. I guess we both might have to be medicated. Ha Ha Ha!!! Just kidding! I might medicate grandpa so I can pace by myself!

Found your site from a prayer request on an alumni website for Emmaus Bible College. We also have 3 little boys and I can not imagine going through what your family is going through!
I know that the Lord will provide you the strength needed to see you through! I will be praying for wisdom for the dr. and for your three precious boys!

Dave and Kate,

We're praying in the Krosley house. I forgot to tell Kate a couple of weeks ago: My 4 year old Andrew prayed that God would make Kate's heart "mighty and strong". We are all praying that today for both of you.

In Him Who is Able,
Pam

Kate and Dave,
The prayer team is in place, and we are still getting more people added to our list! Keep the emails coming. No one will be 'turned away' who wants a prayer slot to pray! We are booking people for as long as everyone wants to be scheduled for a prayer time.

It has been a blessing to see people rally to be beside you, as God goes before you. He HAS gone before you, and He's present WITH you now, and He is already down the path ahead of you,with His arms open. It's safe there! :p)

Dave and Kate,

Praying for peace, comfort, and full recovery, and most of all for God's glory to be revealed in this situation. As God works, I'm praying that today's events will have a significant impact on many people's lives for eternity's sake as they see the hand of God working.

Hang in there!
