Surgery Day

Charlie has just been wheeled in for the pre op procedure. He had a really good night of sleep last night, early morning. I was checking on Matt and Charlie every 20 minutes this morning and they were just snuggled like a bug in the rug. We are moving the HQ down to 2nd floor surgery waiting right now. Will update as the day goes on. Thanks for the outpouring of support; through emails, wall posts and comments left here. Matt, and most of the family quite honestly, has been visibly moved as he reads through the well wishes.

Matt,
Myself, Amy, and the rest of the DenUyl clan are wishing you all the best. I can't help but think about Charlie's pose when you ask him how tough he is... I dare this punk "Luke Kemia", the school bully, to ask the same question to Charlie as Charlie will flex hard and lay him out!

Another favorite move of his, although let's change the wording a little... "How big is Charlie's family, love, and support system?.... Sooooooo Big!"

We love you guys, and you are in our thoughts... your whole family... Please let us know if you need anything or we can help in any way.

Cory, Amy, Dick, Patti, Jason, Abby, and Mia.

Matt,
Thought I would forward this prayer I recieved from friends that don't know you personally, but are praying for you. You guys are still all we are thinking about, and we pray that today will begin the process of turning this sickness around. Great things are possible! Just believe it! Give that beautiful boy a squeeze for me.

"Jessica,
Please know that we are praying for Charlie and that God is watching over them all. We are believing that God who created little Charlie and knows about what is going on will give His angels charge over him. I ask that the Holy Spirit will minister to the parents of this little one and that they would call upon God and ask Him what they stand in need of. Jeremiah 3:33 I ask that the power of God would touch this little one to keep Charlie for his destiny. That the purpose of God would be fulfilled in his life. Thank you for sharing with us this request that we know is not too big for God. God wants us all to call upon Him. He is the one who is the healer and who will reveal Himself to those who cry out to Him. He is a BIG GOD!!!
Thank you for trusting this request with us Jessica.
They are in our thoughts and prayers,
Love,
Patti"
