DAVE IS HOME!!!!!!!
The next blog update will be after Dave's follow up appointment at UNMC on Sept 24. Next Wednesday the doctors will most likely decide how extensive Dave's future surgery will be. The trauma team did tell us there is a very slight chance that Dave's bile duct will heal on it's own. A small portion of the left side of his liver has died and they will need to remove this, however, if the bile duct does not heal they will remove the entire left side of his liver. Please continue to pray that Dave does not have to have the left side of his liver removed.
We want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of you prayer warriors!! We know your prayers are the reason Dave is at home today. It was awesome to experience the way the Body of Christ works together! During the most difficult days it was the faithful prayers of our brothers and sisters in Christ that encouraged us and helped us through. A big thanks to all those who came to the hospital, thank you for the meals, gifts, cards, and especially your prayers. It has been most humbling to be the recipients of such generosity. We praise God that Dave is home and for your faithful prayers. We have truly been blessed! Thank you!

And God's people said "Amen"!
Hallelujah!
It has been our privilege to pray! God is faithful and we all stand in awe of His greatness. We all love you and will keep praying! And you look so good! Love, Larry and Barb
We have been honored to pray...and will continue to do so as you all adjust to the next steps in Dave's remarkable recovery. God perfects us through the circumstances He allows in our lives. ALL of us have been blessed by His refining fire throughout the last 100 days. We've cried together, laughed together, prayed together and rejoiced together. We've seen the body of Christ, through many different people in many different churches, pray as one. And as the days progress, you will hear of people in far away places that you've never met face-to-face, who have prayed for God's grace to be poured out on you. Our God is an awesome God.
Welcome home Dave, We just thank our God for your coming home. Sounds like some tough days ahead but He will be there. Darren Kinney

Praise God! You've been in my constant prayers Dave, as well as the Carpenter family in your many medical teams. God is so faithful in all His ways we know, even the ones that we see as not so good ... but for this day I humbly say "thank you Lord" with you all. I will continue to pray ... Nick Cole
Oh we are so thankful the Lord has answered yours and our prayers. We serve an amazing God who "works all things work out for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose."
We continue to pray for healing!
Praise the Lord! We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers, what a testimony of Gods grace and power!
Praise Jesus for hearing our prayers!
