MORE PRAYER & PRAISE... the doctor checked Jamie last night and found that she was bleeding. Several arteries had not been tied off. So they tied those off, but this a.m. Jamie was still swelling, she went back in and she had surgery at 6a.m. her time. This time she had more than a local anesthesia (sp?), and what they found was a large blood clot! Thankfully, they found it and removed it! They think that is what was causing the bleeding.

She does have a drain now (didn't before) and this is an area for prayer. Pray that: 1. there would be no infection or more blood clotting from the drain, and 2. that they would be able to fly home on Thursday as planned (otherwise, will incur more housing costs, etc.) She goes in tomorrow for a post-op appointment with the Dr. and will be told then if she can go home on Thursday. Doctor is hopeful that she'll be able to go.

Needless to say, this was a bit traumatizing and raised everyone's stress levels. Please keep them covered in prayer! (This is 2nd hand information via Kristi Rolin/Steve Wygant, so keep in mind that I may not have all the details correct!)
