Update on Lisa

Than you for all of your prayers! Lisa is doing well after her surgery. They removed half of her thyroid. The pathologist in the OR could not determine if the growth was malignant or not. She went back for a follow-up last Monday, and the pathologist still could not determine if the growth was malignant, so he sent it to MD Anderson. MD Anderson will not be able to get back to them for at least 2 weeks (thanks to Ike).

If it turns out to be malignant, they will have to go back in and remove the rest of the thyroid, but if it is not, there is a good chance that the remaining portion will function normally, and she will not have to take medication. Please continue to pray!

Glad to hear good news so far on Lisa. I have continued to pray for her and your family through all my recent issues.
