Surgery for Big brother

As you can see, Little Al had surgery last Friday. He had a small growth under the skin of his left shoulder and the vet was not sure what it was. He (the vet) wanted to remove it now in case it was something that would need further treatment. Fortunately, it was just a lipoma, a fatty tumor that requires removal only. Little Al had one removed before, when he was much younger. Again he came through like a champ, and was playing some fetch with me two days afterwards. Now, taking out the stitches is all that is left, along with paying the bill.
Amber continues to have headaches. She has pretty much had a headache of varying degree for about a week. I think I have her talked into going to the doctor to see what the problem is. Please pray for her, this has been a drain and she is struggling with it. My having to work a bunch of days in a row is not helping either. Abbie is the one thing that can keep Amber smiling. Abbie can be a toot if she wants to, but generally she is busy doing her business and chattering away all the while. She is the best little girl in the world. Have I said that before? Well, please pray for Amber and I will try to update with any changes.

Hey man!
Sorry to hear about Amber's headaches. I will definitely pray for her as soon as I get off computer tonight.
So good to see pics and hear about Abbie. Isn't it scary how much love you can have for your child?!
Well, hope we get to see you guys soon! We think about all our friends in Ponca quite a bit. Keep us updated on Amber!
