My 33 year old daughter, Becky, is going to have surgery in about an hour to remove a tumor from her pituitary gland. The tumor, about 1.5 cm in size, is causing her to throw off hormones which are playing havoc with her body. Because of its location, just below the optic nerve, pituitary tumors can threaten one's eyesight and surgery in this area is inherently risky to the optic nerve and could result in blindness. The procedure, which should take about three hours, accesses the pituitary gland through the nostrils.
Please pray for a good outcome and to safeguard her eyesight.
Over the past three years, while they've been trying to shrink the tumor with drug therapy, Becky has named the tumor "Fred." I hope the Fredectomy is sucessful and that Fred is evicted. . . permanently.

May the Lord guide the surgeon’s hands so that he is precise and direct in his work and that the procedure is perfectly performed. Lord help her heal and give her comfort and grace in her time of need. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
