... When you have news and a prayer request to share, blogs are a great thing...
We recently found out that Kimberly has two benign tumors in her right tibia.
This fall Kimberly started running on the x-country team at school. Well, trying to run, but it was a challenge because of the pain she was experiencing from shin splints. But, after a fall on her knee, we took her to the orthopedic and found that she didn't have shin splints, instead they found the tumors. God in His kindness worked out every detail and we were able to quickly get an MRI scheduled and then we were referred to a specialist who studies bone and tissue. After a CT scan the doctor was able to diagnose a rare benign bone tumor called a 'solid variant aneurysmal bone cyst.' Basically it's a tumor that is in the cortex of her tibia bone and it has caused her bone to crack, which is why she is having so much pain with it. We are so grateful the tumor can be removed and her bone can be repaired.
We are also very grateful for how quickly everything has moved along. A diagnosis in less than a week and surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. We're sorry we haven't been able to get in touch with friends to let them know yet. Thus -- we're grateful for the blog :)
Could you please pray for Kimberly and for our family? We would so appreciate your prayers! Thank you! Throughout this week we are all learning how to wait patiently and lean on the Lord. We'll keep you updated on how her recovery is going. Hopefully she'll be up and moving slowly along by next weekend.
We love you Kimberly. We are so grateful for friends like Susan who prompted us to have your knee checked. We are grateful for orthopedic doctors who order x-rays and technicians who scan the whole leg, not just the knee, so we could see the tumor. We are grateful for your surgeon who took two extra years just to study bone and tissue so that he could tell you what was going on with your leg. And we are grateful for a mighty God who continues to "strengthen you and help you and uphold you with His righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
