Surgery Today

Rhi just rang me to ask me to pass on some news to everyone...

Mari did well during her biopsy yesterday and they are still waiting for the results of that.

Rhi and Mari had a good sleep last night (thanks to everyone praying for rest!) Phil & Mari were able to get out for a coffee for a couple hours yesterday which was a nice break from the hospital room.

Mari had a look at this blog for the first time yesterday and was really encouraged by all the comments and prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you

This morning Mari is waiting for her surgeon to visit to confirm what will be happening today. She is expecting to have surgery some time today to remove one of the lumps from her neck. This will help the doctors have a clearer diagnosis. Pray that this goes well and that they will be able to remove enough for testing.

Tomorrow Mari will be having a CT scan at 12:20pm NZ time.

We are all hoping that Mari will be able to go home from the hospital this weekend. They are treating her as a priority, but it is mostly a waiting game at this point.

Mari doesn't have email access at present, but will check this blog when she can to read your comments. Please check with Rhi first via text before planning a visit.

Lots and lots of love,

Dearest Mari

You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. I keep trying to imagine what you might be feeling, thinking, what might be running through your head. I sang out a dance tune (sad as I am!) with the words ‘hope in your soul’ in it over a photo I have up of you earlier, may hope permeate every part of your inner being at this time.
All my love, Lisa X
