I just received this message from Vickie.     God is GREAT!!   Thank you all for your prayers.....they really do work.  Hugs,  Cheryl 

 We are so very exhausted, so I will make this short and sweet for tonight.  PTL!!!!!!!!!! All the things that were listed as of concern came back benign and the mass was not there….doctor said a possible shadow, but we know that it was a true miracle.  The tumor had not grown either.  There is still a major concern, however, with the aortic abdominal aneurysm.  It is huge and has bloomed out much larger than they ever could have expected.  It has to be done ASAP.  So we go this Thursday morning to talk with the surgeon on date, how long recovery will be, etc.  Today we were there for five and a half hours and bless his heart he was starved and ready to eat!  By the time we did that, made phone calls to our kids, we’re ready to call it a night.  Thank you so much for all your prayers and support….to all our friends on the Hill too for loving us and caring and as I see in my email, getting a lot of comments.  I haven’t had time to get online but will do so in a day or two when I can and will try to respond to everyone. 

Love Vickie
