A Blogger Promise + Prayer Request

I've been behaving badly.

While in the midst of a trial, I was quick to share the details. I reflected, I pondered, I noted, I reported, and you all humored me.

Now that we are near the end of this race and our days are full of sweetness, I've carried on my merry way. Oh fickle Blogger that I am!! How could I treat you so?

So here's my promise: I will post every day between now and 31 March. Not only do I have some medical news and updates to share, not only do I have another major surgery scheduled for 25 March, but I now have a life post-big-treatment. I'll write about it.

Whether you find it interesting--this regular life of mine--is another matter entirely. If you don't, that's kind of your problem, though. Right? I mean, I'm just happy to have one. . .

As for the prayer request:

You remember my neighbor, Stefanie, the cancer survivor who moved in this summer. She's been suffering for months from side effects/damage from her treatment and Monday morning, she'll undergo major, major surgery. They expect a 6 week recovery, the first week of which must be spent in the hospital. And the procedure itself is very complicated--I almost want to call it "creative" as they'll be redirecting her intestines.

Please pray for her, her doctors, her children (3 daughters ages 5, 9 and 11) and her husband, who is active duty Army away at a mandatory school right now. Pray for wisdom and skill amidst the doctors, peace over all, no complications and, of course, complete healing.
