Tim just went in for Surgery & A Few Lost Posts!!

I just got a call that Timmy just went into surgery!!  It will take anywhere from 3-6 hours. Vicki said he is having a better day then yesterday. See all your hard work praying is paying off great job everyone. 

Prayer request!!  That the surgery goes well actually great!!  That he keeps having good days and that they become even better days!! That he recovers soon and fast!!


I received a few posts last night and this morning, I  wanted to get them posted so I will attach them to this post!!  You all are awesome for giving him so much support!!  He may not be able to pick up this book when we are done with it!!

  1. Tim ~ We are so happy to hear you are back in the states.
    We are thrilled that your parents and Kate are with you.
    Yes our prayers were answered !
    Wanted you to know how strong Kate was during this, I am so proud of her.
    Annette and Dave were so great keeping those of us who care about you, informed
    as to how you were and where you were at the time. We are thankful for that.
    Until we can give you a hug ~ know how much we care.

    Love,

  2. Dear Tim,

    I am a friend and high school classmate of your grandma Gen and live in Spirit Lake, IA. I am so sorry for the ordeal that you are going through. I am also very proud of you for serving our country and hope that things go well for you.

    I am very familiar with military life but nothing like you have been through. My ex-husband was in the U.S. Army as well as one son who served four years and another that served over 20. Every time I hear the National Anthem I get goose bumps!! I have been to Landstuhl. Quite a place. I have also been to Bethesda Naval Hospital. Wonderful people there! I also worked for the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, VA, but now retired.

    My prayers go out to you and your family.

  3. H i, Tim! We are friends of your Gramma Gen! We're sorry to hear about your accident. But we're grateful for all the new things in medicine! Our granddaughter, a first year student in college, received her 2nd kidney transplant on Monday, (5/25), in Rochester, Minn. (She has polycystic kidney disease and had one transplant when she was 11 (her dad was the donor). She's fine---and staying at the Transplant House near Mayo for two weeks---so she can be checked for rejection each day. She's 'bouncy & chirpy', and says she is "going back to work by July 4th"!

    All you young people have wonderful resilience!

    We'll pray for you too, when we pray for Talia.

    Our very best to you! SEMPER FIDELIS---or whatever. GOD BLESS THE U.S. MARINES!

    We have a nephew stationed in California---has been a MARINE 20 plus years!

    HUGS & PRAYERS! Margo & Ron Brockmeyer

  6. Dear Tim,

    Your family in Iowa and Minnesota is praying for you. Aunt Gen sent us the information about what happened and we are so glad to hear that everything is going as well as possible. We will pray for a speedy recovery and that God eases your pain. We thank God that you are safe and stateside for your recovery. Perhaps we will see you at the next Johnson’s Reunion. I know that your mom and dad had a good time when then came back to Iowa and we would love to see you!

    God be with you,

    Kathy Kleen

  7. Hello Grandma and Mom

    This is to let you all know that I did get the e-mail with the web site for Tim's blog. I read it and was so thankful to see that to date all things are looking favorable for his full recovery. I didn't attach a comment to the blog site because I didn't notice a precise spot telling me to "send comments here" and being the total computer illiterate, I didn't take any chances of screwing anything up.

    However, I want you all to know that I and Uncle Perry are offering prayers for Tim. We can be satisfied with taking one day at a time and pray that each day is better than the one before.

    Vicki, if you should have contact with the families of the others involved in these "accidents" please let them know that our prayers are extended to their sons also.

    God Bless, Aunt Pete
