After a really busy day on Friday including receiving more blood, an angioplasty procedure and radiation for the spinal cord tumor, Angie is able to rest and recover today. The pressure on her spinal cord from the tumor is causing a lot of weakness which is very frustrating - the radiation will continue over the next several days targeting this area in the hopes of shrinking it and bringing some relief.
The angioplasty procedure showed that there is no specific area of bleeding but lots of small bleeders throughout her abdomen. Angela has received blood and plasma the last several days due to the internal bleeding. Today the levels seem to be stablizing and the hope is that the clotting will start to occur and she wont have to receive so much blood. If the blood levels are stable enough, Angie will start some additional chemo to address the cancer in her abdomen causing so many issues right now.
For today, the plan is to rest and gain some strength so her body recover from the last few days events.

Angie and Family,
I am really appreciative of this site and the updates. I want to have specific prayer concerns to pray for!!! I am just thinking about you all so much even though I am so far away!
"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down a tthe right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:2
rest in Him who can give you endurance and peace and healing through this difficult time.
we are all praying here!
Matt and Leanna and kids

Sarah
