Prayer Request

After our visit to the doctor Tuesday, we learned that all women get a cyst on their ovary at the beginning of their pregnancy. Normally, the cyst shrinks away. In some cases, as in Laura's, the the cyst instead grows and can sometimes even invite "brothers and cousins " (as the doctor put it). From what the doctor showed us with her fingers, a normal cyst is about the size of a nickel. Laura's is about the size of an apple or orange (not sure if it's like a sphere or flat, she just showed us with her fingers). There are also multiple cysts. Therefore, the doctor told Laura to take a week off of work to rest and relax. She will go back Wednesday next week for another ultrasound to look at the cysts again. If the cysts continue to grow, she may have to have surgery to remove them. Of course, the doctor said they try to avoid surgery if possible during pregnancy. So, the prayer request is that the cysts shrink and Laura will not have to have surgery. Thanks for praying!!
