Surgery coming up

Thank you all for your many prayers! We have felt them all, and are so grateful to be guided by God's wisdom and peace.I have another update: I talked to my doctor last week after the tests, and she told me that getting rid of the fibroids will be a 2-3 step process.
Basically, I'm going to have to have at least 2 surgeries. One is scheduled for Nov 20th, and it is an outpatient surgery, so I'll come home that same day. With this surgery, they will have to wait until they are doing it to know if they can complete it that day or not. (That's why I might have to have it again later.)
The other surgery is called a myomectomy (spelling??). They will basically be making a c-section incision and going in that way. Of course, that will be 2 - 3 days in the hospital and several days recovery at home. We are hoping to schedule that at the end of the semester.
Will you all keep praying for us? Please pray that everything will go well with the surgeries of course. Could you also pray that I will just have to have the 2 and not 3? Please pray that I would be completely healed and be able to have a baby. Also, please lift both John and I up as we are studying. The course we are starting is very challenging and is 6 credit hours. Please pray that we can work doctors appointments around our class schedule and that it will all work out smoothly. We really want to have the surgery before the end of year.Thanks again for all your love and support!
