Barbe's Emergency Surgery

Barbe went to the emergency room at 3:30 am today with incredible abdominal pain. At 3:00 pm she had an emergency surgery to remove a large tumor that was wrapped around and twisting one of her ovaries. Although it will be 2 weeks before the biopsy is back, she is doing very well and the doctor did not think there was much reason to think the tumor is malignant. We are believing that it is not.Thanks to all of you we were able to contact on short notice for your prayers. Everyone here at SEBCAH is taking good care of us.

  2. Sorry to hear about this unexpected episode but glad she is doing well despite the circumstances. I remember when we landed in the Dominican Republic for our mission trip and Lauren was clutching at her stomach. We didn't speak the language and they thought she might be having an appendicitis attack. They gave us some liquid in a plastic cup they wanted her drink. We didn't see the bottle it came from and discretely poured it down the drain in the bathroom. Turned out just to be nerves. Jacqueline Vandivort
