A quasi-adopted daughter (30 years old) will undergo brain surgery tomorrow for an aneurism. The doctor says the aneurism is large, odd shaped and they are not sure how to deal with it until they get inside.

She went to nuclear machinist mate school with my son back in 1998. So, she's a veteran as well. She will go to surgery at 0715 PST Monday morning. She sure could use some prayers and good thoughts from all of you.

On a good note, the Veterans Hospital in LA didn't have a bed for her so they sent her to Cedars-Sinai in Beverely Hills. In the 2009 U.S. News & World Report rankings, Cedars-Sinai was named one of America's best hospitals. Of the 4861 U.S. hospitals, only 174 were ranked in at least one specialty. Cedars-Sinai was ranked in 11 categories, including neurosurgery! So, I'm comfortable she will be taken well care of....

I'm normally in the Louisiana VA system at Alexandria.

OK, so the girl is in CA.

I pray that the skills of the drs and especially her spirit is powerful and strong. Let the Spirit cover her while under anesthesia and let her spirit be strong and hold her up for survival.

Chief, Ceders-Sinai are the best of the best--The girl is in the best of hands, she'll be fine.

Hi Chief,

Have prayed and will pray, but also find the prayers more effective with a name ... for her privacy ... don't give the last name, but a first name would be helpful.

Thanks, God bless ...

Will do,best wishes to the young lady........

I will being keeping her in my prayers.

Keep us updated as you can.

Thanks all - I appreciate it - she's like a daughter to me. And, I'm happy to know she has some of the best neurosurgeons in the U.S. BTW, her name is Kristen.

I will post an update when I know. My wife is with her mother at the hospital now and she should be heading to surgery in about an hour or so.
