An Answer To Prayers!

Oh Boy, I love good news! This actually caused me to tear up:

I phoned Michelle the evening of her surgery to see how things went. Michelle answered the phone, and sounded completely normal, better than normal. WHAT??? Usually she's all croaky and groggy after banding surgery. She proceeded to inform me, that against all odds and logic, the surgeon went in to perform, and found nothing worth banding!!! It was less than a month ago that Michelle had a CT scan that showed numerous and large concerning varices. She was told to be ready for this banding. The surgeon admitted fears that he was running out of room, that scar tissue might be too great, that she could soon need tubing placed in her throat to keep it open. Everyone is completely shocked that the varices have shrunk. Michelle has had banding every 3 months for the past 6 yrs or so, this would be the first time she has come out with nothing! Such a blessing : ). This woman is a walking miracle! Just in case anyone is wondering, the transplant is still on. Michelle continues to have portal hypertension due to her liver failure. And after a run of "good" days, she is back to having bad pain again.

Please continue to lift Michelle and her family in love and prayers.

Thanks
