Okay, deep breath, here is our update.  It has been a long week to say the least.  Sandi's kidney tumor started bleeding this week.  So much so, that she was bleeding more blood than she could make.  This in turn, caused her blood to drop almost to the point of needing a transfusion.  The doctor recommended a chemical embolization of the kidney tumor.  A what, you ask?  Well, since you asked, the doctor basically injects small little particles into the arteries they suspect to be bleeding and hope the bleeding stops.  On Thursday, we proceeded with the procedure and as far as we can tell it seems to be working.  Huge praise!  Then on Friday, Ron took Sandi home and by the afternoon she was not feeling well.  By evening, she was feeling horrible.  Ron took her to the emergency room where they decided that she was having an adverse side effect from her pain medication.  Sandi has had a reduction of pain and a bit of weight loss which both contributed to her feeling the way she did.  She has been in the hospital for most of the weekend but is doing MUCH better.  Another praise!   She will probably go home tomorrow and be able to resume chemo on Wednesday.  Please continue to pray.  Please pray that the bleeding will continue to cease, that Ron and Sandi will get rest, that Sandi will continue to increase her strength, Sandi will gain weight rather than lose weight (bet she never thought she would request that one), that all those around us will feel trust in God's plan, and of course as always HEALING!
