Update on John Lazares

Subject: John Lazares: Good news

I called Tricia Lazares mainly due to Paul's request that John know he is praying for him. I had a note to call before the surgery so it was a double reason.

Tricia said the antibiotics seem to be doing their job and John's pain is mostly relieved. When he has rehab or activity he feels it but otherwise, he is SLEEPING and resting COMFORTABLY! Big news for one who hasn't done much of either in 2 yrs.

Tricia said the Dr.'s feel the infection should be gone and that John's bone should be strong enough for the surgery set Mon. 3/5 in the morning. Of course, no one can be certain until they open his knee area and biopsy the bone before they proceed on Mon. But, they anticipate good news.

Tricia said to call her Mon. for an update and I will forward that news on. Hopefully, it will say: John is free and clear and has a new and successful knee replacement! John is very much looking forward to this scenario and putting this experience behind him. I said, We expect a resurrection..............for our guy to RISE AGAIN! (as with Lazarus in Bible, John must live up to his name, Tricia said).
