In just three days, on May 5, 2008, Becky will go into Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center for yet another surgery. This surgery, Total Hip Arthroplasty (Replacement) of her right hip, will hopefully be the last surgery Becky will need to be able to regain her normal walking ability. This will be Becky's second major surgery in 2008 after having five major surgeries in 2007.
Following Becky's surgery on Monday, we expect she will stay in Methodist for about a week and then transfer to Health South Rehabilitation Hospital north of The Woodlands. After that, she will resume her outpatient physical therapy and exercises / therapy at home.
There are no further surgeries planned as of now. It is our hope that God will grant full healing to Becky and return her to good health and mobility so that she can resume her active lifestyle that was normal for her before the accident.
Please pray for Becky's healing and for the skill of every member of the surgical team as Becky goes through this seventh and hopefully final surgery since returning home from her initial hospitalization following her accident. The comments that have been posted and the prayers and other support that so many have given are encouraging and uplifting. Thanks to all who have given of themselves for us. I'll update this blog as information is available following Becky's surgery.
Love to all,
Dennis & Becky Bounds

Becky, we are all looking forward to your restoration. In just a few more days the surgery is behind you (and us too, in a much smaller way).
God is with you. Think about that for just a couple seconds longer Becky...I said...God...is with...you. Anybody can see that. I mean, it's like your face is shone upon by a sunbeam.
Throughout your trial, God blessed you with a brilliant outlook. Surely this event file has been registered atop the office desk adjacent His throne room.
Isn't the most pertinent text of this ordeal already recorded on a 39 and a half ft. long scroll of ancient leather and papyrus? When the document is completed it will be placed in a clay jar and wrapped in white linen. If you're wondering about that linen, "Yes, it's the same material as your Kingdom garments, though it's likely not cut from the same fabric."
Our prayers are w/ you & Dennis, Adriane, Cameron & Juliane, the rest of your immediate family and the doctors.
God speed your surgery and recovery...
Josh, Melissa & Emma
Thank you for your beautiful comment, Josh & Melissa. It brought tears to my eyes. I know God has been with me though the many tough times. He has provided my wonderful husband and family to be stability as well. I love you bunches, Becky
Dear Becky,
I pray that this will be your last surgery, and that all your suffering will come to an end.
Your strength, courage, and endurance has been truly amazing. You and your family have certainly lived through very hard times, and have set a great example for others to follow.
It has been so wonderful to see your progress and all your accomplishments. I will pray for your continued strength that you will need, as you go into another surgery. Do know this...you are surrounded by many who love you, and are cheering you on, as you cross another finish line.
Your going to do great!!!
Love you,
Gina Whitley
