Please pray for ChristineH...today is her surgery
« on: April 07, 2011, 12:17:43 pm »
Hello everyone,

As some of you may already know...ChristineH is having her surgery today.  She is having it at Barrow Neurological Institute with Dr. Porter and Dr. Syms...same surgeons that did mine.  I was fortunate enough to be able to meet Christine at her pre op appt. with Dr. Syms yesterday.  I've been thinking about her all day and hope to hear from her husband soon.  They expected her surgery to be approximately 8-10 hours long.  As soon as I hear anything I will post it on here. 

God Bless,

Laura Lynn

Laura Lynn ~

Your prayer request for Christine is appreciated and I, for one, will include her in my prayers.  I'm sure I won't be alone in doing so.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Laura Lynn -

thanks for letting us know about Christine H's surgery.

She's in my prayers for a speedy surgery as well as an uneventful recovery.

Please let us know when her husband has a report for us.

Hello everyone,

I have not heard from Christine's family yet.  I have her # but I'm going to wait a couple days before I call them.  I'm hoping they will contact me today...I'm anxious to hear how she is doing.  Does anyone know her last name?  I'm planning to go visit her in the hospital next week.   As soon as I hear anything I will post it.

Hey, Laura Lynn, I know her last name - I will PM it to you in case she doesn't really want it put out in public.

Hope you'll hear something from them soon - in the meantime, I will assume that all went very well for her  :)

Thanks for keeping us posted,

Cindy

I'm also thinking and praying for Christine. I know she has (or hopefully had) a big'em of a tumor.
