Morning all,

My niece Melanie (actually one of my best friends' daughter) is scheduled for surgery on Friday to remove a dermoid from her right eye. She was born with Goldenhar's Syndrome (praise God, only a very mild case) and is profoundly deaf - and super smart and spunky! Recently, the dermoid started to really casue her discomfort and they've decided to remove it.

She goes into the hospital in Bolivar, MO at 6:30 AM on Friday. We are asking Sts Lucy and Kateri to keep close watch over her, and the Holy Spirit to guide the surgeon's hands. Jules is a fallen away Catholic and I'm praying for her conversion as well.

Thanks everyone!

Melly is home from surgery and it went very well. The dermoid was not completely removed, but reduced quite a bit, she will always have a small scar, but will be much more comfortable now. She's feeling fairly sore and is wearing a patch.

Thank you all for your prayers for her!
