Robie’s cist was removed this afternoon without any complications. Barring an unexpected word from pathology, she is in the clear. No cancer. Praise God!
The fibroid tumor had attached itself to the intestine and was softball in size. Dr. Garza removed it with a small instrument inserted through a tiny incision made in Robie’s abdomen. He paused and prayed for us before Robie went into surgery. Recovery should only be a few days.
Family has helped with our kids. Friends are bringing meals. Many have prayed. Robie shared after the surgery that just before she went under she sensed a surge of peace, a feeling she has not had often or would comment on lightly. Thank you for your prayers. Thank God and man for modern medicine. Thank Christ for his tender mercy.
