Family and Friends,
We have much to be thankful for today! Both Tim and Nate made it through surgery just fine. I want to get that out first so I don’t keep anyone in suspense.
It’s been a long day! After checking in at 5am, they were both admitted to their respective floors.
Tim was taken into surgery at 8. Tim was in surgery for 6 hours and when he was back in a room and able to see family, Deb went up. Knowing that Nate was in surgery, the first question out of his mouth was “What’s the score?” He was asking of course about the score of the USC/UCLA game. He did a fabulous job and the Doctor was pleased to tell us that there was a good kidney to give Nate.
Nate was wheeled into surgery at 2pm and remained with the Doctor until about 9:30pm. Family was finally allowed to peek in on him in ICU at 10. The kidney started working immediately! Please pray that his body will continue to accept the kidney and not be rejected. There is so much healing that now needs to take place.
Thank you for lifting each one of us up! There were moments when we were able to look at each other and realize that we were calm and had full confidence in our Heavenly Father.
We will post more details tomorrow -it's late and we've all been up for many hours.
Thank you all so much!
Alicia

We were so glad to hear that all has gone well for both Tim and Nate, We will continue to pray for the necessary healing to take place for both of them. From your reports it looks like all the prayers have initially been answered, and with God's grace a speedy recovery will take place. Remember the words of Jeremiah, I will give you back your health again and heal your wounds. Jeremiah 30:17

Tim and Deb,
Cheryl and I are praying for you two and your son, Nate. I know it's been a long time since Whittier, but your lives are precious before the Lord. May the healing grace and peace of the Lord fill your lives.

Dear Tim and Debbie,
Wes sent an email out to us and we are sure praying for all of you. We wish we could be there to help in some way. Psalm 138:8 reminds us that the Lord will accomplish what concerns us and we thank Him that you all know that and trust in His promises. We are sending hugs through cyberspace and just wanted you to know you're being prayed for. We'll keep checking for updates.
Lots of love
Tim and Jan Murphy
Praise God for His miraculous gift! We are so happy that everything went well with the surgery for both Tim and Nate. We will continue to lift up the entire family in prayer as you follow the next critical steps on this difficult journey. Know that you are not alone.

First time checking in since we saw you (Tim and Deb) in Huntington Beach. Glad to read that the surgery went well. Will continue to pray for speedy and complete recovery and minimal rejection stuff.

Tim and Debbie and family,
I have not seen you for years, however, God keeps His family tied together in many ways.
Received the e-mail from Wes and continue to pray for you and Nate. I was so glad to read the good news about the surgeries and will continue to pray for the total acceptance and healing for both of you.

Great News! Having worked with Tim at Biola these last few months, I have been kept up to speed on this incredible journey. God continue to bless you in all ways!

P.S. I was a little worried that USC's loss yesterday might cause Tim to go into shock - glad he weathered that storm... :)
Dear Robertson Family,
We are happy to hear the news of successful surgery for both Nate and Tim. Please know that you continue to be in our prayers for healing, rest, recovery, and Nate's body's full acceptance of the new kidney.
Blessings,
Denny and Leesa Bellesi
