Eloise, Just a short note to update you on Heather. The surgery was flawless. Within 24 hours Heather was up and playing as if nothing had happened. The ward nurses got the surgeon to come in an look at her because they had never seen any child recover so fast. She returned home last Saturday and had the stitches removed yesterday. Although it will be a couple of more weeks until the final results are known, initial reports say that the mass is benign although there is a good possibility that it was malignant in its early stages. There were many people praying for Heather and I think the results speak for themselves. Bruce
