Re: home-had complications

[Guest guest]

Kim,

Sorry to hear about that complications you had during surgery. I know the

Lord was with you and will see you through this. Glad that your family is

around you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself,

rest,

relax and get better.

Its great you were able to post as I am sure many were anxious to

hear how you and Gail are doing. Now to hear from her! Sorry about

the complications but glad they acted on them and also your surgery

was able to continue. Power of prayer...please remember that as its

gotten my family through many bad times. Looking forward to hearing

how you are doing over the coming days/weeks/months. Congrat's on

becoming a " looser " ! Can't wait to join you someday.

Kim:

I'm glad you made it through your surgery and the complications okay. Keep your

faith, everything will be fine no matter what happens. I believe everything

happens for a reason, sometimes we don't always know what the reason is or

understand it, but if you keep your faith He will guide you in the right

direction.

Please keep us posted on what is going on.

What a strong woman you are Kim. My sister went through a similar

situation last year and I know for your family it was a trying time.

You need to just rest and recoup now, just work on getting strong. Did

they complete the GBP surgery or are they waiting for you to recover?

In a way it is a bit of a miracle that you had the surgery, I know with

several of my friends they didn't catch things like that until too

late and it's just such a difficult thing to deal with, especially with

cancer running in your family. Well, we're all here for you and sending

you prayers and well wishes.

Gail... you are in my prayers. I had a 22 lb tumor removed and my left overy

5 weeks before surgery so I know what you are going through. I did a lot of

crying myself but it does get better. I know its easier said then to have to go

thru it. But been there done that. Keep your chin up honey and in no time you

will be up and feeling like new.
