Please Pray For Kirstin

Kirstin at Barefoot and Laughing is undergoing surgery today to remove a melanoma from her ear. Pray that lesser surgery is sufficient to remove the tumor and that "All manner of things shall be well."

Almighty God our heavenly Father, graciously comfort your
servant Kirstin in her suffering, and bless the means made use of
for her cure. Fill her heart with confidence that, though at times she may be afraid, she yet may put her trust in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Kirstin says:

How to be with me, in the next while

I don’t know whether I’m going to be admitted. I don’t know what the surgeon’s going to want to do, beyond the excision of (on?) my ear. (I don’t even know if he has jury duty tomorrow.) I don’t know what kind of lymph involvement I do or don’t have. I really, really, really don’t want a neck dissection.

From Susan S.:

Also, Kirstin.... I dropped off at the hospital 30 minutes ago. I wait for someone to call and tell me when to come to pick her up. The actual surgery is scheduled for 1:00pm PDT.

UPDATE: from Susan S.:

Kirstin has been back from the hospital since about 7:00pm DST. She had some nausea, but otherwise is ok. She has gone to bed and will not get up until tomorrow, I think. In any case, they nipped her ear thingy off and I think she thinks they biopsied a lymph node. She will tell you more when she feels like it.

Thanks be to God! And thank you, Susan for the report.
