Prayer Request

This post is a shameless request for prayers for Henry. He is having surgery tomorrow on a growth (mass, tumor, nodule - whatever you want to call it) on his thyroid gland. They'll remove the part of his thyroid gland that contains the growth and have it tested while he is still under anesthesia. If it's benign, the surgery is over. If it's malignant, they'll remove the rest of his thyroid gland and some lymph nodes in his neck and have further treatment in the upcoming months. He'll probably be hospitalized a few days - we're hoping to get him home on Friday sometime.

If you have any spare good thoughts and prayers to send our way, we'll gladly take them. I'll post an update when I get a chance.

Good Luck with all of that. Henry and your family will be on our prayers. If you need a place for your kids, let me know, we could have a big play date!

Your little family will be in our prayers and thoughts all day. From one parent to another - what a blessing to have the knowledge of a Father in Heaven whose peace and comfort we pray will be with you tommorrow and throughout the next week.
