We are in the hour when we need to see a miracle!

Thank you for continuing in the fight for divine health for Michal Ann and I in our battle against cancer over the past few years. This past Sunday, February 3rd, Michal Ann was experiencing difficulty breathing and was taken to the Williamson Medical Center Emergency Room in Franklin, TN. After a series of tests they found that her left lung had collapsed due to excessive fluid surrounding the lung. In addition, tests showed the right lung full of tumors and that tumors had multiplied in her liver.

In a surgical procedure on Tuesday afternoon, February 5th, the doctors removed almost 3 liters of fluid from Michal Ann’s left lung. The upper cavity of the lung soon re-inflated on its own, and though the lower cavity did not, Michal Ann experienced much relief in her breathing. After this procedure she was able to sleep through the night. They will continue to watch the lung to see if it will completely re-inflate as well.

As of Wednesday, February 6th, Michal Ann was breathing, sounding and looking remarkably better from earlier in the week. Today, Thursday, February 7th, Michal Ann will have a port placed into her chest cavity as she will begin a regimen of chemo. This will allow it to be administered directly into her artery. Also, as of today fluid had begun to again collect around the lung. So a semi-permanent shunt will be inserted to drain the fluid over the next several days. The hope is that this will result in the fluid being completely removed so as not to return.

Michal Ann will remain at the hospital for an undetermined period so that she can regain her strength and so that her medications can be monitored. So, though the procedure has given Michal Ann a boost in energy and she is breathing more freely, this is still a major health crisis and we need to see a miracle!
