It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve heard from her personally, as she is apparently having some e-mail trouble. She&#8217;d hi-jacked a local library computer and was doing her best to catch up on e-mails without the aid of an address book. She&#8217;s been encouraged by the comments and posts here, as well as by all of the personal snail mail she&#8217;s been getting. She&#8217;s not competely in the clear yet, however; she&#8217;s back in the hospital <strong>today<\/strong> getting prepped for her second surgery.

Shortly after arriving at my<br \/>\nparents&#8217;, I asked people to pray specifically that I would not have to<br \/>\nsee<br \/>\na doctor in Wisconsin, since my insurance did not cover out of state<br \/>\nclinics. The Lord answered prayer in that light. Thanks for your<br \/>\nprayers<br \/>\nonce again.<\/p>\n<p>I return to Detroit on Dec. 15th and the following day I have a pre-op<br \/>\nappointment. While I&#8217;m in the area, I hope to go to ICU to visit the<br \/>\nnurses there now that I&#8217;m past the first stages of recovery. Please<br \/>\npray<br \/>\nfor specific opportunities to talk with the medical staff there. Also<br \/>\npray<br \/>\nthe entire tumor can be removed, because otherwise it will continue to<br \/>\ngrow and cause more pressure on the brain. I don&#8217;t know how long I will<br \/>\nbe<br \/>\nin the hospital, but I hope that if I am doing well, that I can be out<br \/>\nby<br \/>\nChristmas.<\/p>\n<p>God has been good to me so far and I look ahead to further blessings.<\/p>\n<p>Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; Lisa<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, keep praying!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I found a wonderful e-mail from Lisa Knies herself, right in my very own inbox!
