rainer update :: surgery today

51/366 :: three new Jedis

By the time this post goes up Tuesday morning, we will be well on our way to UCLA for Rainer's surgery. The surgery to remove his port over Christmas vacation was not successful--he still has a large catheter in the veins leading to his heart. Now the specialists at UCLA will have a go at removing it.

I always love it when you guys pray for Rainer. More prayers today, please, if you are so inclined. I'll admit, this surgery makes me nervous and I've been dreading it. Thanks so much! I'll be updating my Twitter feed.

  2. Prayers and happy healing thoughts go out to Rainer today - to you I send soothing thoughts and strength to get through this. Its the end of this horrible disease for him - the final step to be free of all that had to be done to him to make him better. I send many prayers throughout the day and days to come.
