All happened today. Doctor was very positive, obviously a man who had treated thousands before us. There was a light hearted almost jocular discussion of options, ending with an appointment being set for surgery in 9 days time. We felt comforted and at ease. To help speed this up we chose daycare treatment, where I had to commit to be with Jan and watch her for the 24 hours after the operation, so I would be nursing her.
However thinking through the implications of what was said, a 10% chance of this complication, and 10% chance of another, all before one considers side effects of drugs leaves me not wanting to write more tonight! Just have to trust in the Lord rather than having any certainty in medicine. The doctor wants another scan before he operates to help guide his incision. A side benefit is that if we have already received a miraculous healing he will not operate unnecesarily.
Many phone calls received from loving friends asking for an update, thanks for your love and concern.
