Melissa Is Okay

Posted January 8, 2010, 8:38 p.m.

Just a really quick update: Melissa got through the surgery okay.

There were some complications, so the surgery lasted 4x longer than expected and they will be keeping her overnight. But she’s okay and should be heading home tomorrow.

Thanks for the continued prayers!
