My dear friend for many years needs all of our prayers. He is a little shy about announcing such an ordeal...so I will do it for him. Ted has been struggling with his throat and voice for many weeks now. He has continued to carry a small sore throat that seemed like a cold or allergies.
He visited a nose and throat specialist a couple of weeks ago and the good news is that it isn't allergies or a cold. What they told him was he has several small nodules that need to be surgically removed. They seem to be harmless except for the continued irritation that effects his speech and more so his singing ability on occasion and becoming more frequent as the weeks go on.
Therefor with BSI off the next two weekends Ted was able to schedule the out-patient surgery for Tomorrow morning Monday June 23rd at 8:30AM.
We all need to pray for the surgical team that will be operating on Ted to guide their steady hands through the surgery to be successful and ask God to help Ted heal swiftly and painlessly. Help him follow the doctors orders and not speak for 3 - 4 days to allow his throat the proper time to heal so he will be able to communicate with his family and friends and especially to allow him to continue to pleasure us with his beautiful singing voice again very soon.
I know Ted would appreciate all the prayers we can give him. So if you will, go to the bottom of this post and reply with the comments button in your words of encouragement to Ted or wish him well with your special prayer.
Or email him direct to Ted@BlueStoneIvory.com. He cannot talk for several days but he can read and he will be reading his email.
Thank you and God Bless you.
Forgive me for not reading the Blog more closely. When Gary wrote that you'd be having surgery tomorrow, I mistakenly thought he'd posted it today which meant that surgery was tomorrow morning. So my prayers go out to you TODAY for the surgery and recovery, but I'll still be praying for you tomorrow as well as the following days. In all truthfulness, I pray for all BSI members all the time.
Your friend and fan, Carol
