To update you, the doctor will perform the celiac plexus nerve block this Thursday at 7:00am. All hurdles have been cleared. It's a 30 minute procedure (1 and a half hour prep time, of course) and relief should be immediate. Depending on the outcome, another procedure could be performed on the liver to relieve the pain from "Grumpy", which we pray is possible, because he's grown. At least there are possibilities. Thank you for your prayers. God listens. John

You and the doctors will be in my prayers in the morning as they are every morning. Hopefully beating the pain will let you eat and keep your strength.

All my love
