Thank you for the update. At least now they know what they're dealing with, at least in part. Still praying for her.

We are still praying for Melissa.

As are we all.

This clearly is not a simple condition.

"The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting..." (Psalm 100:5)

Prayers sent.

The current plan for Melissa is for colon surgery tomorrow. I am not certain what the exact procedure will be but am hoping this is at most a resection.

We will be praying extra for her surgery.

Chas.

I have now & will in the morning againw/ the wife.

Prayers have not stopped

Thanks everyone! Melissa's surgery has been delayed until Friday. She sent Robert out on a hunt for some Bose noise canceling headsets today. That sounds like she has not lost her spunk :)

can't blame her on wanting the headphones...hospitals are noisy! how anyone is suppose to sleep and heal there is beyond me...

Hope the surgery goes well. She and Robert will continue to be in our prayers. Sounds like her spirits may be up a little if she's asking for headphones.

Good news! Melissa just got out of her surgery and is in the recovery room. Robert is elated.
The doctors removed the lower left quadrant of her colon and her appendix and cleaned everything up.
The outlook is good. The docs anticipate Melissa's colon will be able to be reattached in about a year.
So we are cautious but more full of hope.

Thanks for the update. Will continue praying for her speedy recovery.

Great news. Prayers will continue from here also!
