And round and round we go...

Well, you may have received an email with our changes, but I'll post them here as well...

Blair's doctors told her this morning that she will have to undergo two separate surgeries instead of this one we've been "looking forward to."
Her tumor is larger than they anticipated and will need a little radiation after the mastectomy, before the reconstruction.
Tomorrow we will be at the hospital as planned, but mom's surgery will be much shorter. The good news is that her recovery will be shorter, too! Let's look on the bright side.
Now, she will be home on Friday.
Party at the Belins this weekend! Just kidding.
Once they see how the tumor is reacting to the radiation, they will go ahead and schedule her reconstruction. That will be the very long haul, with a very long recovery. Keep checking back, because that is when she'll need the most help.

Nothing like a little last minute change!

Please continue to pray for Blair. She'll probably update you herself a little later. I think she's a bit shell shocked to say the least. Pray for her spirit and her confidence. We are ready to get all of this over and done with!

Praise God that He knows the plans when we don't!!
Jeremiah 29:11-14a
11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"(Heb.11:1).

We love you Belin's!
