Many of you may know that Dick Carlson has been in hospital because of a 1" tumor at the intersection of the bile duct. Lucille has, of course, been with him and, on Monday, several biopsies were taken to determine if the tumor is malignant.
Many prayers to our Master Physician have ascended on behalf of Dick and Lucille and their family. The verdict is in and the tumor is NOT malignant!!!
Hallelujah!
Doctors have inserted a drain to drain off the bile salts which are making Dick yellow and itchy.
Now, please pray for Dick to regain strength enough to go home where he will build yet more strength of body so he can have surgery to remove this growth.
Pray, too, for Lucille to be strong and held in God's perfect peace. Lucille has an appointment next week to see a doctor because of severe back pain. Please keep her lifted up in prayer.
Thanks to all of you prayer warriors.

God never said the journey would be easy;
but that the arrival will be worthwhile!
8:00 PM Update:
I just talked with Lucille via Skype. She said Dick is already showing improvement from the drainage. He's starting to get his sense of humor back and his arms are getting pink instead of yellow.
The surgery to remove the troublesome tumor is planned for next Wednesday or Friday.
