UPDATE 10/04/08: My friend made it through her surgery which is good news.  Now it should be smooth sailing for her.  The only remaining issue is that they hit an ocular nerve so she can't see.  We are all hoping her sight returns so your prayers/good thoughts would be appreciated.

UPDATE 09/29/09: So my friend has one more serious surgery for Wed at high noon.  It's about an eight hour surgery and if this one works out then all she has are a few minor surgeries.  Please keep her in your thoughts/prayers.  Thanks.

Best,

Shannon

All green and no blue,
