Update on prayer request!

Just was forwarded a note from the mother of the little girl undergoing the massive treatments for skin cancer. I'm passing it on immediately in order to keep you all updated and to keep the prayers going for this brave, little girl!

Hello all,

I want to say thank you for all the prayers and support.  I feel humbled and blessed for being in the family of God.

The surgery went well.  They removed four sentinal lypmh nodes from her armpit.  She had a 4cm circle taken off the top, outside part of her arm.  They didn't close wound so they put a wound vac on top of the wound to keep negative pressure on it.  The wound vac sucks out the drainage from the wound and sucks in the surrounding tissue to make the area smaller when it comes time to skin graph it.

She has to have it cleaned every three days.  That means putting her under all day on Friday, Tuesday and Friday until they find out the pathology on the lymph nodes and the skin sample.

If the skin is clear of cancer we can close the wound with a skin graph hopefully next week.  If the skin has cancer, they remove more skin and we do this all over again.  She has been in a lot of pain and doesn't want anyone to touch her booboo.  She is very scared about tomorrow and going back to have it cleaned.  Please pray for her.  She is going to be in a lot of pain the next couple of weeks as she is trying to heal from cleanings and another surgery. 

God is a God of miracles.  We are praying for one so we can be done with cancer.  It has been hard to be still and unable to do anything for her.  God is so good and I thank you so much for your prayers.
