Surgery Is Successful

The doctors just came to the waiting room to tell us that the port placement surgery was a success. They have placed that along with an access tube in order to more easily administer medications, transfusions, and other things over the coming months.

Andrew is still asleep under anastetia, and they say it will be another 30-45 minutes before he wakes up. We will be able to see him then.

He will get most of the day to recover, barring any need for another transfusion. Treatment should start in the morning.

The prayers continue from St. Louis!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

This is much easier said than done, but sounds like Andrew is hangin tough. Blessings to you all!
