Leigh had me write this second blog entry. Hope I don't mess it up too much. As of this moment (2:45 on Thurs) I'm through with all of the preliminary testing and I'm waiting for my pass to leave the hospital. We are going to make our "Last good meal for a while" trip to P.F. Changs. Unfortunately, this is starting to become a tradition. That being said, I really am looking forward to it. Hopefully my family and a few friends will be able to meet us there. After dinner I head back for a wonderful nights sleep at hotel NIH.
The tests they completed today are just routine things (EKG, Blood Test, Chest X-ray). I'm just glad they don't make me take a spelling test:) The operation is scheduled for around 8:30a Friday. I only have a few prayer requests - 1. Pray they only use small needles. 2. That the food has improved 3. and last but not least that the doctors flash lights run out of batteries at around 3 in the morning when they decide to test my functions and I'm dead tired and really really don't feel like waking up for them to check pupil dilation.
In all seriousness, thank you all for your prayers. My one prayer request (OK, my real one) is that the Lord continues to use me and my testimony for his glory. I would hate to think my whole adventure with VHL was for nothing. When I reach heaven, I would love to think that someone would come up to me and say "the Lord used your testimony to change my life - thanks." I love you all - Ryan
