Melissa hasn't had the surgery yet. They're waiting for her blood pressure to go down. Most of last week it had been 220ish over 180ish, which is EXTREMELY high, and I can only imagine that it's just as high since she's in lying in the hospital thinking of everything that needs to get done.
I talked to her for about 2 minutes yesterday and my friend Tihiti talked to her a bit longer this morning. Basically she has a hernia that's pressing into her intestines, causing toxins to leak into her body. So it's very dangerous and surgery definitely needs to be done.
Please pray:
1. That her blood pressure would go down so they can do the surgery.
2. That the surgery goes well with no complications; wisdom for the doctors.
3. The Melissa would have peace of mind and not worry about all the details that we're working on here at school (this is probably the most difficult one for her).
4. That her family, especially her three kids, would have peace.
5. That all of us at school will get everything accomplished without her so she could rest easy.
6. That I won't lose my mind managing two classes for the spring program.
Thanks for your prayers! I'll keep ya posted.
*****UPDATE @ 3:50 P.M.*****
Melissa is having her surgery at 5:00. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Thanks for praying!

i remember a little bit about when my mom had hernia surgery when i was a kid. they closed her up in such a way that she doesn't have a belly button anymore. i think everybody had to help her with stuff because she obviously couldn't move around as easily during recovery.
i was letting psalm 23 soak in a little bit today, mainly the part about how God makes us lie down in green pastures and leads us beside the still waters. it seems that it's ok for waters to be still. and it's kind of sad, but God has to MAKE us lie down in green pastures sometimes. :">
