"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything
that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or
more are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them." -- Matthew 18: 19-20
Thank you, God for hearing our prayers and for answering !!!!
All good news !!! Shelby is in recovery, and doing REALLY good !! The surgery took just under 4 hours total, and during that time, the doctor removed the entire mass (which he categorized as "extremely large"), he removed the gall bladder, and he had to remove a small section of both Shelby's colon and his small intestines. He did not have to do anything with his spleen, he felt that the cyst that was on it was not involved and did not require attention right now, and since that was a major cause of concern, he felt it better to leave well enough alone. Shelby lost twice as much blood during this surgery (appx. 1800 cc's), but despite that is still doing well enough that he probably won't have to go to CCU, and will instead be able to return to his room in just a bit. The doctor is sending the mass out to be tested again, but he fully expects the findings to be the same....no cancer, and he did not physically 'see' any cancer anywhere !!! He's not allowed anything to eat or drink for a while, but something tells me he's not going to want much...at least not for tonight ! He can have ice chips, but that'll be it for now...no cheese & crackers !!! LOL
So nice to be able to laugh a bit now !!!!
I gotta say, that Shelby has got some of THE BEST friends & family God ever put together !!! There was not one second that he was not completely surrounded with tremendous love and prayer. Then again, we all know that you reap what you sow, and since Shelby has always sown 'love', it stands to reason that that's what he should reap !!! You guys have been amazing, and Shelby, Vicky, the kids and the rest of our family have drawn great strength from you !!! And, since you have sown grace and love, so shall it be returned to you !!! THANK YOU !!!!!
We'll try to update again later tonight, just to let you know how he's feeling !!!
Thank you God, Again !!!
