Surgery went well.

Thanks for the prayers, everyone. Aimee's surgery was successful-- no complications, and one of her more bothersome tumors has been removed. She's pretty groggy right now and will probably stay at the hospital overnight.

The doctors have been great, and they'll start mixing up her magical elixir right away. It will be around 4 weeks, though, before we know if they are able to grow the cells needed for this treatment.

While praying and passing the genetic reproduction time, we ask for a new photo mindbender. This would keep the average blog-hungry reader from dying of boredom.
If needs be, it could be of non-Aimee related photo.
Just a thought...maybe, name the baby?
