B hang in there! I here it gets better after 48 hours from what I am reading. May the Lord embrace you in this time of pain.

We are praying for peace in the middle of the pain you are suffering thru. We hope to see you when you feel up to it.

Hi wade I'm so glad you are doing great. You are very blessed to have Denise by your side thank God for her. Enjoy your view take it easy thinking of you a big hug Gloria Becerra

Hello again Wade, You have had a wearing day I think. But you have been doing wonderfully based on the great journal that Denise has been writing! Enjoy your ocean scenery and let the pros
take wonderful care of you! Greetings and thank you to Phyllis and Jody and a big thank you again to Denise for keeping all of us anxious watchers up to date! Good night--love you all!

Hi Wade, sad to hear you are still in some pain... Each day will be better and before you know it you'll chasing Daisy on the beach. Hang in there! Feel better and know that you are always in our thoughts and you are loved. Denise, thank you very much for taking such good care of our friend. We are hoping that you two can join us in Hawaii next year:) hugs! - M&M

Wade, congratulations on getting past surgery and the breathing tube out! A lot of those first two days will be blurry for you even though folks swear you talk rationally! That's a blessing! Once they get your pain managed you will be amazed at how much more relaxed and comfortable you will feel. The nurse always gave me a little something before the breathing exercise so it would kick in about 15 minutes after finishing. That was just the first two or three days and it really helped. Don't be afraid to tell them it hurts. They won't know otherwise and the pain control will help your healing.

Use the spirometer as often as you can bear. It really helps keep the fluids off your lungs.

You are going to feel so much better each day! Congrats and thoughts and prayers for you and your family!

Wade- I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well. Been thinking about you a lot. Take care brother! -Christian

Wade,
Julie and I have been reading all of Denise's entries and now just realized we can respond back through the guest book! We are so thankful and happy that the surgery went well! You are a strong man and it is showing through your recovery. Mom and Dad didn't raise any sissy boys! LOL. It is great to hear of the progress you are making in such a short period post-surgery. Amazing what modern medicine can do! We love you very much and continue sending our prayers your way. Denise, we look forward to welcoming you into our big family and can't thank you enough for all of the care your are giving my big Bro. Phyl and Toots, thank you to you both for making the journey and being there to give our families Love to one of our own.
Love you all,
Joel, Julie & Emily

Hola mi amigo Wade! My U.S. friend! :)
Praise God for answered prayer. You have been on my mind and in my prayers constantly. You are a very important person to me Wade and I am so glad you are healing properly. I wince when I read about all the pain you have to endure my good friend. Hang in there - you are an inspiration and a strong man of God. And I am one of many people that has you covered in prayer.
Your brother in Christ - Jim Jarosz

We are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. Sounds like you are doing really well. It is going to feel better every day. What a joyous Christmas you will have! Janet Freer

I am so happy to be able to hear about your progress. I sent you emails on Monday about your surgery yesterday but of course they did not reach you. I prayed for you several times yesterday knowing you were in God's hands. Denise is as special as you have described. I am looking forward to meeting her. Rest and heal so you will be stronger than ever. Love, Stacey Ferrari

Hi Wade and Denise-
So happy to hear surgery went well and recovery is progressing. We always knew you had a lot of heart and now your surgeons can vouch for it. Keep the progress reports coming and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

I'm so happy to hear that your surgery went so well and that you are already starting to getting out of bed!! God is truly watching over you and wants you back with Denise as soon as possible. Take care and wishing you a speedy recovery. love, Terry Longcare

Hi Wade,

It's me Viv at Landsberg. Denise has kept us all well informed with your status. Thank goodness you came through with flying colors, not that I had any doubt, but it's good to know you are on the road to recovery!

Wade, take it slow, day by day, no worries about work, we have Chris running around like a chicken without a head haha!

See you soon!

Viv

Wow I guess pudding and jello are great (I thought Kobe was good, but yum to you-LOL). It amazes me how fast hospital's want you out. Prayers are still pouring in for you and Denise!
Love Janine

Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. — Isaiah 41:10

Love you,

Praying that your pain will subside soon. Hang in there my friend. You have great Doctors and great support around you. Two more days like Denise said and you should be feeling much better. You are going to be so spoiled the next couple of weeks to come.☺ Many hugs and lots of love to you.

Sylvia Godinez ♥

Dear Wade and Denise,
I stand in awe of what God has done...I imagined each step of Wade's surgery in my mind as Denise gave the updates, praying for the steps of anesthesia and surgery I imagined they were at. My faith has been strengthened through this as I'm sure it has for you both as well. Wade, were you "knocked out" adequately??? :) Will continue to pray that you would tolerate the pain, that it would resolve quickly, that the holy spirit would comfort and strengthen you both. Today I was assigned to do the anesthetic for a case of congenital bicuspid aortic valve in a 14 year old which made me think of you and how God has been good to allow your valve to make it for a good part of your life before needing surgery! Can't wait to see you and Denise. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Joana

Love you Wade, Norm

Wade,

May family has been praying for you and your family(Ephesians 6:18). We are so thankful(1 Thessalonians 5:18) He has brought you through this surgery. We will continue to lift you up to our amazing Father.

Tracy & Nicole Thackrah

Great to hear you're sitting up and it went well! God Bless!

Hi Wade! I'm so blessed by all the awesome updates and successfull outcomes! Praying for your pain levels to be manageable and thanking God that they will start going down soon. Be sure to use the breathie thingie! Hugs ~Diane

You're already sitting up? Did you REALLY have the surgery? Sounds like you will be out and about in no time. Keep up the good work! Glad to hear you talked to your Mom too. Love, Aunt Deanna

Denisse,

Please tell Wade that we are very happy her in Tijuana, that the operation went well and he is doing better.

Let me know when is a good time to visit him so i can program to go up there and say hello.

Thanks for keeping us inform, i really apreciate.

bye

Hi Wade, Denise, Jody and Phyllis - Please let Wade know that it's very important that he use the spirometer (sp??). We learned that with all of Ralph's surgery's. It's also a very good idea to not have company - you need to take care of you now and once you feel better then have the company but don't feel guilty about having to decline visitors - we all want you to get better and getting to tired will only prolong that! Love you - what a fan base you have with all the guestbook signatures you have!! Love Ya!!

Wade. My goodness what a ordeal you've went thru I get your updates daily and look to reading same. My prayers are with and just hang in their and things will streadily prove and you'll be up and out of hospital . Wishing you a rapid recovery !!!! Uncle. Dean

Hi Wade
I am so glad everything went well


looking forward to seeing you soon

Cindy

Ooops ! Sorry Wade.... they were suppose to use .090 caliper and instead used .120 !!!

I guess they will have to do it over again...... wait a minute, Josh just said it will work and we won't credit it...so might as well stay with the .090 !

Thought u needed to be brought back to reality !!!

Gary a

Good morning Wade! You were my first thought of the day. I am hoping and praying you will be feeling just great. I am sure you will be in some discomfort for awhile, but that is all apart of healing my friend. I can't wait to see you soon. Denise has been an angel keeping us up to date through out all of this. Hang in there darling.
