Update

Thank you for praying! Patty just got out of surgery about a half hour ago. It was almost ten hours long. The tumor ended up being much larger than they thought and took up her whole pancreas. They ended up having to remove her pancreas, spleen, and part of her stomach. We have to wait until next week to get the pathology report. She is in recovery now, Ryan is hoping to be able to see her in about 40 minutes, but she probably won't fully wake up until tomorrow. She will be spending the next two days in the ICU and then ten more days in the hospital.
The Lord still deserves to be praised for His steadfast love! I have been learning that it's possible to praise and cry at the same time! Please continue to pray!
