YAY!

 She was out of surgery by !0:20 or so, but still in recovery so mom hadn't seen her yet. The Dr. said she was doing fine. The right side was about 60% blocked and the left side was about 50% blocked.

This picture was taken right after surgery, all had gone well and she was happy about that. She said she was able to stay awake for it. That is always somethings she likes too. :)

White as a sheet describes this picture. Her cheeks have a touch of color but over all she's white. 

 She has to lie flat on her back for 4 hrs after surgery. Her back is paining her alot. Its not the surgery that had put her in so much pain, its the fact that she hasn't been able to take many meds today. So you could say its a "normal" daily pain that's uncontrolled right now.

They've just left the hospital as i write this. Now back to the hotel to recover for a couple of days. On Friday she starts heavy IV's to go in and kill all of the infection they broke loose today. 

 Thanks for all of the prayers leading up to today and continuing on in the future. I don't know about mom and Nellie, but i have been filled with peace all day, even before i knew the out come. 

CCSVI

 Today is the big day! One we've been  waiting for for a while. Nellie and Mom were to be to the hospital by 7:30am and Nellie just said she is going back. So i'm guessing a 9:30-10 surgery planned.

 Prayers needed for everyone involved. This is a risky surgery, so we all need strength and trust in HIM. He is in control, and will take care of us, no matter what happens.

News...

 This poor blog has been neglected for multiple reasons. Not much has been new or different in the line of treatment. However i do know that people like to keep up with this journey. Something that seems mundane to me, probably will interest others.

 The newest thing in treatment is going to Atlanta for a CCSVI procedure. What that consists of is unblocking the jugulars and arteries in her neck. Mom and Lynnelle will fly down February 26, procedure on the 27th, and fly home March 2. This is a risky procedure, but we are hopefully. I talked to her nurse today and she told me she was "cautiously hopeful." ;)

Lynnelle is really sick right now with nausea, double vision, and extra pain. You can pray for her to get some relief, and pray for Minnie to be able to keep up with all of her duties.

We'll keep you updated on the progress of the CCSVI. :)
