Hi all,

I am thrilled to let you know that surgery went well today. The doctors were able to remove what they were aiming for. They have sent the tissue off for testing, and expect results in 3 business days. Kai is expected to stay in the hospital for the next week. 

Aki plans to write more tonight with further details. 

Thank y’all for all the prayers and support that you are pouring out over the Slockers. 

Love,
Amanda Brown

Just got a report that surgery is going well. Praise God!

The tumor is vascular – which means it has a lot of blood in it. So, Kai is getting a blood transfusion, so pray specifically for that. 

Hi everyone,

Kai has just been taken back for surgery prep. Prep will take about 45 minutes. The length of surgery is unknown – likely 2-6 hours. The medical team will
update Aki and Shawn every hour. 

Please pray for Kai’s healing, for wisdom and careful hands for the doctor (Dr. George) and for Aki and Shawn as they wait – for rest, peace and comfort. 

I will ill update as frequently as I have news. 

Thank you,
Amanda Brown

I just heard from Aki (9AM on Saturday). Kai will be having surgery today. We will post more details as soon as we hear. Please continue to pray!
