9 hours post-op

Today Terry Keller took a targeted chemotherapy treatment by way of surgical procedure at Stanford Medical Center.  He will remain in the hospital overnight, and be released hopefully at noon-ish tomorrow, if all is well.  The liver is an important organ to one's body, so it's always wonderful when he comes out of surgery.  Here's a photo Ellalina sent to me just after 1:00 p.m.  Terry looks alright! 

Ellalina also told me via text message at 7:09 p.m. that Terry was "miraculously doing very well right now.  They tried a different drug regiment today and it appears to be a great fit for him.  Yeah!"

That is a "Hooray!", because there have been so many times after past surgeries, treatments, and procedures, in which Terry's body was easily infected and experienced difficulty in recovery.  I pray that this treatment of chemotherapy ("poison") will kill the cancer but avoid his healthy cells; and that his body will return to health and well-being very quickly.  Aaaaaaaa-men!

  1. I had a pic of Terry on my fridge and prayed for him every day last year. I did take it down and turned my prayer commitment to another ill friend, but given the promise of Terry's new health report, I'm putting this picture up and renewing my campaign. This time, tho, I'd like to target Ellalina.

    The way that I "pray," btw, is to lift my hand toward CA (that is, point to the china hutch) and picture Terry or Ellalina having a good day, whatever that means for them that 24 hour period.

    Please send a picture of Ellalina laughing. Another good way to pray for someone is to picture them laughing.
