Almost game time

In support of
Bobby Worthington

Please join us in the stands to cheer for Coach Bob tomorrow (2/7/24) as he reports for surgery at 5:30 am. They expect a lengthy surgery, up to 8 hours. The surgery is so technical it has its own special name... "The Whipple Procedure." Coach loves to get technical... just ask my 3 year old how it is when Bear corrects his baseball swing!

Today he had another CT scan and met with the anesthesia team. And I'm proud to report that the team is ready to play ball.

By the grace of God all scans have been reassuring. They believe his tumor is isolated to the pancreas and there is no evidence of any further spread of cancer in any other part of his body!
strike one for the enemy!***

By the grace of God they believe he will make it through this surgery just fine...and though recovery will be tough he will be fully capable of a full physical recovery!
strike two for the enemy!**

By the Grace of God he has been given the "best case" for the "worst type."
strike THREE for the enemy!**

God is on pitchers mound
and Bob is ready to swing with faith!

One of my dad's close friends, Clay Gibson, said "Coach Bob is full of faith, family, friends, and fight!" That's a lot of good F words!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the texts, prayers, and love. We feel the power of prayer and know that God is the great physician. We have faith and claim victory over cancer in Jesus name!

Maggie! You’re the best! We all appreciate you taking the lead and the “pen” to keep us all informed! Anyone that knows Bob knows he’s full of that competitive spirit and he is crafty at having a fighting spirit yet in a subtle and cunning way!! He’s always swinging for the fence (and beyond)!

I appreciate these updates so very much....You are a fabulous writer and STRIKE 3 against the enemy for sure. Phil and I are in the bleachers cheering God's wisdom on the surgeon throughout the surgery and for Full recovery. We love you, your family and we keep our eyes focused ON HIM.
My friend, Debbie Strickland, a pancreatic cancer survivor, reminded me of this:
Don't tell God how big your storm is....Tell the storm HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS
