Day 5: Surgery

I (Jonathan) will take over for this post.

We started the day at 4:15 a.m. with April’s biopsy surgery as the only thing on our schedule. The surgery went as planned , and we should hear the biopsy results in three to five business days.

Our next step is at least three specialist appointments on Monday. While we likely won’t have today’s path results to discuss, we will talk about the scans from yesterday, and likely treatment option scenarios.

Until that time, we plan to give April some time to recover, and catch up on some rest. We are tired, but hopeful in a more definite (and effective) treatment plan.

This stage of our journey has me often thinking of Psalms 121. We are trusting, and looking to the mountains.

  1. Jon and I just listened to Dr. Charles Stanley’s Sunday message on Courage and doing the hard things in life. He used the passage in Joshua 1: 1-9, and we realized that you, April and Jonathan, as well as your whole family, are great examples of how we need to trust in the Lord during times of affliction. Your blog is so touching! Thanks for sharing the details and your faith through it all. Praying for you daily… McKeels

  5. Thank you for sharing this personal time of your lives with us. I have no idea how I would react if I had to go through what you two (and your entire family) are going through. I love to read of your faith in God and your love for each other. We pray for you guys every night.
    I pray for God’s healing, and his peace during this time.

  6. Praying today for a peaceful rest that will restore and refresh both of you. Also I’m praying for good path results and wisdom for those deciding on your treatment plan.

  7. Suggest you take a breather from the intensity and stress. Catch up on some sleep, enjoy each other and some of Houston. Anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call.
