3pm Update : -)

Oh, how thankful we are that you all are praying us through the day!!  Thank you so much!  Lydia has received a couple phone calls from the OR saying that things are continuing to go well.  They have taken several samples to send off to pathology, and sounds like they may be expecting some initial results before too long. 

We are just so thankful that God in His perfect providence and timing brought Richie and Lydia together so they could have and hold one another through such a time as this.
