MRI Results

Mom received a call last night from Jessie’s endocrinologist with the results to the MRI that she had done yesterday. She does have a pituitary tumor. We don’t have too many details at this point (size, type etc), just that the doctor wants to send her to Mayo to have it removed. The doctor wants to do a few more tests next week to cover all of the bases. I would imagine that within the next 2-3 weeks she will be having surgery. The ultrasound of her abdomen came back completely normal, thank you Jesus! The doctor does want to check her lungs due to her labored breathing these days. Jessie seems to be taking the news pretty well…I gave her a little “pep talk” last night about how if I can do this, she can do this! When I said that we truly are identical, “down to the tumor” she cracked up….you have to show humor through situations like this! Mom wasn’t in the laughing mood…which I completely understand. Please pray for her too. She is our rock, but I know that her heart is tired. Her strength and faith are such an inspiration to everyone around her, especially her kids. I know that God has a purpose behind all of this, and that He will use it for the good. He always does. We are trusting that His will be done in Jessie’s life. She is our little sunbeam, and I know that God loves her so very much. She’s in the best hands possible! I will keep you posted as to when the surgery will be. Thank you all for your continued prayers, they are such a gift to us!

Love,

Liz

The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.
The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
