Dear family and friends,
Please urgently and earnestly pray for dear, sweet Melissa as she undergoes yet another brain surgery. My heart is heavy as I send this email. Melissa has made progress and we have rejoiced during the last two weeks. Lord, we ask for your mercy on this family and your healing powers over Melissa. I pray that in the morning I'll be able to share good news.
Thank you all,
Robin

Dear friends,
Melissa will undergo her 15th surgery tonight (9/9/08) to replace her brain shunt for the 4th time. Her surgery will begin at 7:00 p.m. Please pray for her surgery team and for neurosurgeon Dr. Loudon, and that this surgery will be the last one needed to replace the shunt.
After my last update, Melissa began vomiting every day, felt dizzy, and had an upset stomach. These symptoms lasted a week. This morning the doctors conducted a nuclear shunt test which revealed that her brain pressure was very high, the shunt was completely clogged and her left brain was swollen and very firm. The doctors felt the shunt needed to be replaced immediately.
Melissa will stay at CHOC for one week to recover and be observed.
Thank you for praying for her recovery.
God bless you all.
In Him,
Michael
