Day of Surgery (7)

Katie has been in surgery since about 8 this morning. That makes almost 12 hours... Dr. Jed began his work about 10. Since it is after 6 there is no longer any nurses or receptionists here in the waiting room. Therefore we have not received word from the operating room. (Previously they were calling from the OR about every 2 hours to keep us updated). My parents and sister and William's parents and one of his sisters are here with us. (Amy is at home with Laura Beth...someone had to hold down the fort!) Everyone is getting a little anxious to say the least...and a WHOLE lot bored. Please keep Katie in your prayers...it is so hard on her little body to have a surgery that lasts so long. Remember to pray for Dr. Jed...that his hands are steady, his eye sight is clear, and his mind is not fatigued. Thank you so much for all of your prayers. We love you all so much.

  1. I've been keeping up with your posts all day...as have a whole lot of people around me!!! All day at BVRC we are all really only thinking of all of you today. All of the posts are so encouraging and I feel in my heart that all is so well and that little Katie is going to be healthy and cancer free and have all of this behind her sooner than anyone can imagine. Staying tuned here.

  2. Have been praying for all of you all day and will continue. Katie is a fighter and we will keep all of you in our prayers. The waiting is the worst expecially when you can not find out any information. Hang in there and just be strong.

Several had called her today and wanted to know any update. We are still praying.. and we know God is in control. Hang in there.. We love you. Mel & Sharon Caldwell
