Comment by Maryellen on September 10, 2014 at 12:51pm: Well It is over, I heard from her today and they got everything cleaned out them new bone in place to hear and they found a cyst. They say that that was what was causing the problem and thank God they found it or it could have been worse. the tooth is fine no infection in it and they shaved the roots. She has 8 stitches and a lot of pain but in good spirits. Thank You ALL for your prayers.

You know sometimes you run into people that just don't take NO for an answer, Well my daughter has a CO that is like that. He finally told Dental on the base to get her to Spain and get this fixed. He didn't take NO for an answer. I thank God for him and him watching after my young adult.

She will return to Italy on Saturday and back to work on Monday.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 10, 2014 at 12:11am: praying for her and you.

Comment by UBU'sMom on September 9, 2014 at 9:07pm: Mary Ellen, thinking and keeping u both in my prayers tonight.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 9, 2014 at 5:13pm: that is a POWERFUL testimony Maryellen! gives me the goosebumps!

And having dental work scares me since 2001 when I had the root canal from hell.

I am really impressed that they will put her tooth back in! Isn't God amazing that He has created us with such wonderful bodies to heal like this?

Praying for her. Keep us posted!

Comment by Maryellen on September 9, 2014 at 10:56am: Just spoke to Dani, they did all the prep work today and packed her with antibiotics over night. Tomorrow at 8:30 and her time they will do the actual surgery. They have to remove the tooth and clean out the infection. They will have to take a small part of the bone and replace it with human bone so it will heal faster. while they have the tooth out they will make sure there is no infection inside the tooth itself. they they have to shave the roots to put it back in. She will have about 20 stitches and then she will go back to her base on Saturday. She said something strange about this, she said mom I have peace with all this, Im not freaking out and Im not scared. I told her that it was God and all the people praying for her, she said yes I know. Maybe this will bring her closer to God, maybe this is his way of saying you need to come back and live for me. This child used to sing in church almost every Sunday. Thank you all for your prayers, I will keep you posted.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on September 8, 2014 at 11:31pm: will be praying for you both tonight, every time I wake up,. Which is often. keep us posted!

Comment by Maryellen on September 8, 2014 at 10:34pm: UBU's mom, thank you, it's going to be a long night

Comment by UBU'sMom on September 8, 2014 at 10:25pm: Maryellen, you both are in my prayers!

Comment by Maryellen on September 8, 2014 at 9:44pm: Well its that time, tomorrow at 9 am (Spain time) 2 am AL time Dani will be at the hospital for part one of her surgery. I did get a call from her today and there was not even a hello, all she could say was pray with me mom. my heart sank to my feet and I prayed for her. I will probably not sleep tonight. I will sleep with the phone in my hand. I will let you all know when I find out more. Keep the prayers and cards going, she needs us all right now. Thank you all.

Comment by Maryellen on September 3, 2014 at 9:21am: UPDATED: Dani will be flying to Rota Spain on the 8th, Surgery will be on the 9th and maybe on the 10th. Depending how bad it is they will do part one day and part the next. Her Birthday is on the 10th. She is just happy that the end of this long ordeal will be over soon. They have taken her off the antibiotics for now since nothing is helping. She is holding strong and tuff. I guess she gets that from her mama. She will update me if she can while shes off base. I will update everyone as I find out more. Thank you for the prayers, and she ask to keep praying she can feel your prayers.
