Please Remember in Prayer . . .
The Ven. Thomas F. Winslow, Chaplain to the Bishop, was released from UW Hospital-Madison today after several days of in-patient treatment as he continues to recover from lung transplant surgery which took place this past winter. Tom undergoes bronchospy every 3 months as part of his after-care and if any areas suggestive of early rejection are noted, he is hospitalized for several days so that he can be given intensive IV steroid/anti-rejection medications. Tom asks us to stress that this is nothing alarming -- he was told such episodes are not unusual following transplant surgery. However, he would appreciate being remembered in your prayers and thanks the diocese for its continued support.
