Surgery Update #4

Just spoke with Heidi.  Mom is in the recovery room and doing well.  Her pain is being managed well and she has been sleeping off and on.  It looks as if they got all the cancer - the margins were clean according to Heidi.  AND it does not appear to have spread to her liver.  They did take biopsies of the liver though.  She will be in a private room once she leaves the recovery room.  I spoke with her briefly and she had to mention the Steelers-Ravens game.  Just to rub it in a little.  
We ask for prayer that her recovery goes well and her pain is managable.  Thank you for all the prayers of support today.

God is so faithful! We give Him the glory for this successful surgery (although we are tempted to attribute some of Marilyn's smile to the Steeler victory, sorry Alison....) We thank you for the updates and will continue to pray for little pain and complete recovery. Our love,
Regis and Cathy Campbell
