Dear friends, just a short update:
Last Friday, Susi had her "hole patched", it turned out to be 20-22mm
wide instead of 13mm. So we are even more thankful that it was
possible to do this procedure through a vein without
open-heart-surgery. She was in the hospital for 48 hours and could
come home with me for a week of recuperation. She must have been born
with this problem, and it became more severe with time. Now for the
first time in over 30 years her heart pumps blood with enough oxygen
through her body! I was allowed to be with her in the "heart catheter"
room until she was fully asleep, and they called me in while she was
waking up.

Mark's MRI today showed no more cancer or unusual lymph nodes. Next
week he will see his urologist who will decide if anything (and what)
is necessary as follow-up.

Thank you for all prayers and encouraging emails/phone calls. God
answered these prayers the way we had asked for!
In Him, Maria Walker
