Hey Faithful
Friends,
I just wanted
to write a quick e-mail to give you an update about today's procedure and to
let you know that we are so incredibly grateful for your friendship. The
last two days have been a lot easier than one would anticipate given the
circumstances and that is because of you all! From the texts/phone
calls/emails to the offers to help with our kids to the spontaneous prayer
gathering last night, I feel overwhelmed by your love and God's love through
you. And all the scripture you have been sending have been showers of
encouragement-that is the best way I can describe it.
The biopsy
procedure this morning went really well. I was with the ultrasound tech,
Jennifer and the Radiologist, Dr. Sarina for most of the time, both of whom
were great! Everyone at the Breast Center is awesome but Dr. Sarina was
different than the radiologist I had on Tuesday. Her warmth toward my mom
and me was what I needed for today. She is also the one that will call
with results if she receives them prior to our appt with the Breast Surgeon
tomorrow at 1:30 pm. As far as the procedure itself, they intended to
take samples from three different locations (2 of the nodules and one lymph
node that they thought was questionable); however, it ended up that they had
difficulty isolating the lymph node enough to take a safe sampling. I
felt like it was a prayer answered since they seemed to have difficulty even
locating the one they wanted to test with the ultrasound. So now we wait for
results and for the next step. Of course, I would ask for continued
prayer for us as we meet Dr. Tafra tomorrow. We are praying for clarity
in the plan of treatment that will allow my parents to easily decide about
whether or not to go on their long-awaited trip to El Salvador.
Thanks again
for walking through this with us! The Body of Christ is an amazing thing
to be a part of in times such as these.
Love,
Kara (and Blake)
