My beautiful god-daughter, Annie, is having emergency surgery today around 12 noon. After coping with mononucleosis for a couple weeks, she developed a rare complication that caused her spleen to become enlarged and bleeding. The doctors have said her spleen is the size of a volleyball, and it has detached from its usual location and is free floating in her abdomen. Needless to say, this is very painful.
The surgery today will remove the spleen and hopefully reduce the pain she's experiencing. Unfortunately, because of the spleen's size, they can't do laparoscopic surgery. The recovery time will be long.
So any prayers are appreciated! I'll post an update when there is one.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Annie and her family. Let us know her progress as soon as you can!

Awh, poor Annie. That sounds awful and I'm sure she's already feeling very run down with the mono. I can't imagine dealing with an abdominal surgery on top of that. Knowing you, she'll get excellent lovins and attention during her recouperation. Send her my love.
