We talked with her surgeon and he was pleased with how everything went. They took out a softball sized cluster of cysts and as much of an avocado seed sized enhanced area as they safely could. This enhanced area  is what causes the cysts to grow. He also ordered another MRI to check for bleeding which is routine and also to better tell how much of this enhanced area is still there. She is in a fair amount of pain it seems at the moment and is very drowsy but otherwise is doing well. Thank you so much for your prayers.

This is part of the one painting I saw hanging in the surgical waiting area.  I was surprised but I really shouldn’t have been, God is so much more than we can even begin to imagine.  And I couldn’t help but remember seeing the real cardinal in my city backyard and the message I heard that day. God is so good.
