Surgery on Friday

Lauren is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Not sure of the time until the morning. They will remove some lymphnodes for biospy, remove the concerning section of bowel and take out the appendix. The capsule study didn't work. Xrays showed that the fake capsule didn't make much progress in 30 hours. They think it got stuck. The real camera capsule only has an 8 hour battery life, so it wouldn't go far enough to give us the info we need. We will have results from what the surgeon saw and did tomorrow, but no biopsy results until Monday. Best case scenario - 1. The damaged section of bowel comes out cleanly and Lauren's pain is eliminated (after she recovers from surgery). 2. The biopsy results are negative for PTLD. Any other scenario, we will just deal with as it comes and trust that Heavenly Father knows what he is doing.
