Well, this will be my last update for a little while. It is after 8:30 Sunday night and I have had a wonderful day of worship and great fellowship with friends and family. We will be getting up at 3:30 - well, at least me so I can get in that one last good hair wash before surgery! We will be picking up Monica at 5:00 so we can be at the hospital by 6:00. I am the first patient scheduled and they expect to start around 7:30. The general surgeon said he expects his part of the surgery (the mastectomy) to take 1 1/2 -2 hours. The plastic surgeon will then take over to reconstruct, which he expects will take another 5-6 hours. So whenever you open this email - please say a prayer!
You all know I have to "tell a funny story" before I go ... I asked the surgeon if I would be able to wash my hair during my stay in the hospital. He hesitantly told me that I could, but that I would not feel like it. I told him that if I did not feel like washing my hair, I was dead. He said we were not allowed to use the "D" word in his office. I told him even if that did happen it would be okay because I am a Christian. He said, well, I am a Christian too, but that would not be okay! We all got a good laugh out of it anyway, but maybe you had to be there.
Thank you all again so much for all the love and support you have given me since this all began. I have told John that just the things that have already happened have made the journey worth going. God willing, he could still provide a miracle, but if not, it will be in His will that I go through this and I know that I will come out a better person for it.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Just wanted to let you all know that as I go to bed tonight, all is well with my soul. Thank you so very much for your prayers and please keep them up over the next few days. God bless you all and keep you safe in His care until our next update!
Love to all,
Liz
P.S. My nephew Trey won the competition! Thank you for voting for him and may God use him greatly to His glory! His youtube video has now had over 7,000 hits! He called me and sang the song in its entirety which was very uplifting and powerful but even this 35 second audition has ministered to me greatly in the last few days, may it do the same for you.

Angels gather round your throne
And around your throne they bring
Praises to the Living Word
To the awesome One they sing
You are Holy... Is our King
