Kelsey's the same today, which is a good thing her belly stopped getting bigger. She's breathing fine, so they didn't drain any fluid from her today. : ) They didn't do any tests today so nothing new to report there. Yesterday, they tested her platelets after she got some on Monday and it was 109 the highest it has been in a very long time. They'll test them again in the morning and if they are below 100 they will give her some more before the surgery. As long as she is doing ok they won't drain anymore fluid before tomorrow, either. Although, the doctor did say when they open her all that fluid will come out. Hopefully, that will go well and her body will adjust to the fluid loss well.

We still don't know many details about when we might know the results of the biopsy. We not even sure what we want them to find. We're praying it's good news about the liver but also that there will be some answers as to why she's retaining so much fluid. We're just trying to be patient about everything. Andy and I are going to the hospital around 10:00am and Kelsey's surgery is 11:30. We will try and up date the blog as soon as we know something to update about. Thanks for checking the blog about Kelsey. I know their are a lot of people praying about tomorrow and we are thankful. We are put Kelsey in God's hands and I have to try and leave her there. I have a tendency to want to take her back and worry about her. God's in control. A friend sent me this verse yesterday. "Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.- Jeremiah 32:17 I told her Keeton has been singing this song from CLC over and over and it's stuck in my head and it totally goes with her verse. The song is "My God is so big, so strong, and so might. There's nothing my God can not do!!"

Until tomorrow...
