We heard from the surgeon today at Baptist
Hospital that Erin Hope's surgery will be this Thursday around 11:00 a.m. to
12:00 noon. As you may know, the cardiac surgeon will also need to be in
the O.R. room to assist and maybe put Erin Hope on the heart bypass machine if
needed. We don't know how long the surgery may last but we speculate
that it may be 4- 6 hours or longer.
Please pray for peace for both Erin Hope and
her family. Please continue to pray for her complete healing. This
is a very serious surgery. However, Dr. Turner, the general surgeon, has
done many of these type surgeries and is confident that he can get all of the
cancer.
Erin Hope is feeling quite well but still
has a little cough. She does not appear to be worried about the surgery
at this time. She went to school today and had school pictures made.
She has had an unusually good appetite lately and we praise God for that.
Please keep checking back often for updates.
And, don't forget to tell the kids to check out the "Kidsfun"
section on this site. It is a great fun!
