David's CT-scan found a small mass in his abdomen about 2 weeks ago. We wanted it O-U-T. The surgery was scheduled for today but our work was only beginning. We had a lot of praying to do to get ready for today. We wanted God to reveal to us His power to heal David. It's been one full year since David was diagnosed with renal cancer and had his kidney and tumor removed. It was almost too much to think that he would have to go through any of that pain again so soon.
So many friends and family all over the world have been praying for David's healing and for our peace leading into the surgery. We were at peace ~ the day was an adventure, for sure! Katie and Lindsey were here this weekend, FIGHTING BACK against this big unknown "thing" we faced. Just having them here has had a calming affect on me. I would've loved to have had Natalie here, too, but Tennessee is only a heartbeat away. She was here in her heart.
The surgery went well! It was done laparoscopically (woo hoo!!) and the mass was removed without a problem. He took the appendix out, too ~ David's dad asked if we'll get charged extra for that. hahaha.
We wait now for the pathological report and are praying and believing that it will be benign.
David is at home ~ up and walking ~ sore but so much better than what I expected to see from him! We feel like God listened to every earnest prayer lifted up to Him and answered them perfectly. We are feeling really loved right now!
Thank you all for praying and PLEASE keep it up! I hope to report in the next few days that he is STILL cancer free and that the mass was benign. Whatever happens, we know that God is SO GOOD!
I'm so glad you guys are doing well. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
