Duct-taped volleyball
I took care of a lady yesterday who is 70 years old, who for the past ten years has had a massive (2.4 kg) lipoma attached to her left arm tricept. Imagine taking a volleyball, duct taping it to your left arm (make it secure now, it's got to last 10 years!) and hauling that around. An hour later, she came back from the Recovery Room, lipoma-free and smiling. Imagine the freedom!

Praise the Lord for allowing people to have the skill, wisdom and knowledge to take care of these people! You too!!
Off to the beach tomorrow morning for 5 days. I will continue to pray for you.
I love reading the stories of your adventures, and wamilele wamilele mungu is one of my favorite songs!
We love you and are continuing to pray that a beautiful story will continue to be written.

That's a huge lipoma. In the US it would get cut off in the office when it first started.
Lycia I am so proud of you! Your blog is amazing and I know you are such a blessing to the patients and the staff. Keep up the hard work! I love you!! <3 Kate
Hi Lycia,
I'm sitting next to your mom on the couch watching the US vs. Japan. We are both wondering why you haven't posted anything new since Wednesday. I love the blog and just want to see more of it! I miss you and am praying for you! Love you, Robbie (and Gary too)
