Latest on Wally's Condition - 9/06/2007

Well, I think I finally have a way to update many of you all at the same time. If you offered to head up a prayer chain, please pass my information along. God is answering prayers and teaching us patience at the same time.

I took Wally to Virginia Mason this morning for his scheduled CT scan in hopes that we would have an answer by this afternoon to see if he would be eligible for the surgery. Unfortunately as he was taken back and given an IV, the doctor came down and said that there was a scheduling mistake and that they actually want to wait until next Tuesday to do the CT scan to give his liver time to completely heal. He smiled at us and said "Have a good weekend and stay off of the internet". I think word has gotten around that Wally likes to self-diagnose and has even attempted his own minor
surgeries:) Please continue to pray that 1) if God chooses he can remove the tumor from his pancreas or 2) that he would give the surgeons and doctors the skill and wisdom they need and that Wally would be able to have the surgery. Our prayer is that the tumor is contained in the pancreas and that the cancer has not spread to the liver or other organs.
Just so you know, Wally is very upbeat and is being his regular self. His skin is finally turning back to it's normal color and you can actually see the whites of his eyes now instead of yellow.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and I will try to keep you posted when I have more information which will not be until next Tuesday.
Please keep praying.

Love you all,
Sheri
