Ramona is out of surgery. I just finished talking to the resident doctor he said that they took ten spots out of the lungs. He said they got everything. This begs questions. Two months ago on the CT Scan they could only see three spots. I'll wait to talk to Dr. Waddell later to see what this means. The biggest spot wasn't attached to anything. That is good news. Ramona was incredibly relaxed before the surgery. We sat around in the pre-op holding room chatting and realizing the peace we had was because of all the people praying. Pretty neat feeling. Ramona should be getting up to the room in an hour or two.
Thanks for praying,
Earl

I'm praying for you, I wanted to send you some flowers from all the French adopting parents, but you did'nt answer my email and I could'nt send them to you before the surgery, so please Earl and Ramona close your eyes and imagine our flowers, I'll send them to you when you come back at home (if you give informaton to do that) love and blessings from lilou, brigitte and the French adoptive parents of GLA

i'm so glad to hear surgery went well... i didn't feel the intense urgency and even fear that i did during your last surgery. maybe others felt the same way while praying. id on't know... but it is interesting that you too mentioned feeling such peace. Praise God! He is good...

i'd love it if the doctors could be proved wrong about the expected painful recovery.

i love you so much. i'm still praying.

always,
dayna

Although I read the blog I never post because I feel as though I can't be persaonl so here's a shot for you guys. I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well and more that you get to spend some of those precious moments together, like at the square. They have prolly meant more to the two of you that they do to most of us. You make me proud to know you. We would love to spend some time with you soon, hope this works out.
