Thank you to everyone for your prayers.... Sadie's surgery went well and she is now in the recovery center resting. She is feeling really good and all ready eating. The doctor did not find as much inflammatory tissue as he expected, but instead found many small to large marble sized cyst like masses that were removed. At this point we aren't sure what they are, but there is some speculation. They have been sent to the pathology lab for confirmation. The doctor did feel that those were probably the cause of most of her pain. This should all be really good news as it means that her arthritis is more under control that we thought. If she is able to eat and start taking her medication by mouth and has peaceful night she should be able to leave tomorrow afternoon!!! Please pray for this because being home is really where all of us want to be. Thank you again for your prayers, love and support!!
