From Daley Ponderings:
Grace is having ear surgery tomorrow to explore what's going on, get a biopsy, and maybe get a tube in. The oncology/NF1 doctor also managed to schedule her bone marrow aspirate for the same day so Grace will not have to be sedated twice in a few weeks.
Prayers for all that accompanies sedation (including fasting, Jon's conversation with the anesthesiologist, and emergence) are appreciated. And that they will find exactly what they need to, that everything will be clear. And that her marrow will still be all Faith's!
I'm more than pleased that they thought to spare her the extra sedation. I'm less happy with the idea of ear surgery, but sometimes you have to trust that the doctors know what they're doing.... And pray.
Praying!
News from Heather:
As far as we know, the surgery went well. He took two biopsies, one in front of the eardrum and one behind. There was not much fluid, so he did not put in a tube. We will get results in several days. The bone marrow aspirate also apparently went well, and that also takes about a week to get all the results back.
The cotton ball they put in her ear got soaked through, though it was not supposed to come out until tomorrow. But Jon put in a new one and there seems to be no more bleeding.
