Prayer Update

Today Robert went in to have his biopsy done and wasn't able to because he has been running a fever since last night along with a sore throat, fevers, chills, and throwing up. They are now testing him for strep or mono.

We didn't realize how serious the mole that they removed was all about. It was not malignant but it did have bad cells in it so what they are going to do is remove the surrounding tissue to make sure that there are no other bad cells and test it to make sure that the surrounding area is not cancerous. They will core the area out and he will actually have a few stitches. We just thought they were going to scrape the area to make sure but that was not the case at all. He has to be fever free for 48 hours before they make any incisions so we are hoping for Wednesday as long as he doesn't have mono. So please continue to pray for him during this time of being sick and having the tissue removed. When it rains it pours but we will keep on smiling. :)
