Dr. Beaver: "Thanks for your prayers."

Dr. Wayne Beaver, former missionary with Grace Brethren International Missions and professor emeritus at Grace Theological Seminary, reports that the recent surgery on his knee went well. He was scheduled to have the pad in his knee replaced on February 25.

However, he says that "from succeeding X-rays the doctor wasn't sure if the pad in the knee was worn out. He went in with a scope, and found that the pad was still good."

The doctors looked at four different places on the knee, and smoothed out the bone structure, and cleaned out the "debris."

"The four holes are still healing," reports Wayne, "but so far I have considerable less pain, for which I am thankful. Also I am extremely grateful for the many who were praying for me and the operation."
