Done with that procedure

Donna is done with the procedure.

They drained 2-1/2 liters of fluid out of her body. That's like a 5-lb baby! They are going to analyze the fluid again to check for malignant cells in the fluid, but we are not expecting them to be malignant since the previous analysis was benign the last time this was done. She is still groggy from the anesthesia, but all indications are positive. This went much better. They used the CT scanner to locate the best place to go in, and only had to poke her once. And she never felt a thing, because she was out. Out like a light!

Wonderful!

"....because we know that suffering produces perserverance, perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us". Romans 5:3-5
Scott and Donna: your perserverance and character bring out YOUR Godliness and HIS Holy Spirit within you. You are a blessing to many! Hang in there. We are persistantly and boldly praying.
