Please Pray

Shell received great news at the end of May that she was cancer-free after just a month and a half or so on medication. However, at the end of her treatment and after her second D&C on July 16th they received devastating news; the cancer has returned. For the past 3-1/2 weeks she has been preparing for a hysterectomy which will happen tomorrow. She has been through the gamut of emotions: sad, scared, anxious, hopeful. You name it, she's felt it, and often all at once.

I'm hoping to make it to Swedish Medical before she goes in to surgery at noon tomorrow. I will definitely be there when she wakes up. Please pray with me, Shell, and her entire family that everything will go smoothly and as planned and that the cancer has not spread. Pray that she'll have a quick recovery with as little pain as possible. Pray that she and Rich will find peace and faith even though they will be giving up their dream of having a biological child.

Love and thanks.

I haven't been checking blogs lately so I missed this information. I am so sorry for your friends and our family will be thinking and praying for them.
