Lily,
I am praying that this time the procedure will be much easier on you, and that it will burn all the bad cells left in your liver (visualize it happening).
Hang in there.
A big hug, and lots of prayers your way.
Love,
KarlaV.

Hi Lily
Sorry you weren't able to have your second treatment but
happy that you got the vampire-load of blood drained from
your liver.....that must feel better. I'm hoping you'll be ready
for the second treatment in ten days. I am always thinking
of you..... Stay strong LilyGirl!

Lily.
I have been thinking of you. Thank you for the update.
I am so sorry you could not have the second procedure on the 3rd, but I am glad the doctor found out and took care of the problem that was giving you fever and uncomfort.
I am praying hard for you to get better soon so that you can have the procedure done.
Be strong, have faith, and fight. Positive thoughts, and positive visualization of what you want it to happen. Scare away your negative thoughts.
Hang in there. God be with you.
Love,
KarlaV.
