Praise God for His Many Blessings

Kate is out of surgery and in recovery. The doctor said she is awake and the operation was successful. Praise God!

Within the next 24-48 hours (after they conduct the pathology) they will know if the tumor is cancerous or not and to what degree.

Once she leaves the recovery room she will be in the ICU for at least 24 hours.

In addition to your prayers, the comments left on this blog have been very uplifting to both of us.

I am overwhelmed by God's grace.

I feel somewhat psycho because I've been checking the blog every 5 minutes or so, knowing that a post would be given soon. Blessings to you, Dave...the initial "wait" while she was in Sx is over...now we'll pray for uplifting and patience for you during the NEXT "wait" while the pathologists consult. Not on site with you, Dave, but here for you both in spirit! Getting used to "waiting rooms," both literal and figureative is quite a bite, but its better when you're surrounded by loving friends, family, and a faithful God. Laura Joback and family

Whew - that's a relief!!! Glad to hear that she is out and doing well! And for the neurosurgeon to call it a "success" seems like great news. I don't know many neurosurgeons who would say that unless they felt really good about how things went!! We hope you feel surrounded by God's peace and love and prescence. We are praying for great news from the pathologist, but we know that no matter what, God will carry you through.

Love, Gracie

Dave,

This is just wonderful news - Praise the Lord! Pattie called your cell by accident and got Jeanie on the phone. She mentioned that Kate was already asking questions about the tumor, etc. . . . always one for the details ;-)

Pattie is having problems with her Internet connection and was unable to get on the blog. Once she gets on the Net she will be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that Kate and family have received from your friends in Christ. Wow, what a support network!

Carol and I will keep praying for a great pathology report and a speedy recovery. We are just a phone call away if you need us.

Love,
XXXOOO

Kate & Dave:

You may not remember us, but my husband and I were in "Partners" with you way back when, and your prayer concerns and blogspot landed on my desktop through the church. My heart melts for you both, and I am inspired by the way you have responded to this trial placed in your path.

Know that many women have been praying for you today, as we conducted our regular Tuesday morning Bible studies.

Since you're asking for them ... the verse that keeps me going through tough times is the following: "I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength" (Phil. 4:13).

God bless you both,
Sue Jenkins

I am so glad to hear that the surgery went well. Praise God!!!!

Sara(our 8 year old) and I prayed for you, Kate and your whole family tonight.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. We will continue to lift you up in prayer over the coming days. May you feel his peace and hope during this time.

Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid
I'll strengthen thee, help thee,
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous,
omnipotent hand.

Hi kate and family. My eyes have been filled with tears reading all of these blogs, and how your faith in the Lord is carrying you through. As i read from Nancy Peterman, the Lord woke her up early to pray for you - I also woke up at 4am to pray. I rarely wake up at that time. Stay strong and the Schillings continue to pray!
