Connie and David White ask for the prayers of the church. Connie will undergo surgery on Monday December 16 to remove a benign, non-cancerous meningioma – a slow growing tumor that arises from the membrane surrounding the brain. Likely congenital, the current size of the tumor necessitates its surgical removal. Connie will spend 1-2 nights in the hospital, after which there will be an approximate 2-week recovery period. Please pray daily for a totally successful, uneventful surgery, for the surgeon and care team, and for Connie’s recovery and return to full health. Cards and letters are appreciated and may be mailed to Connie at 5892 Mitchell Road Sandy Springs, Georgia 30328. Emails may be directed to cwhitetech@gmail.com.
