So today has was the day we'd all been waiting for. Today, started at 3a with a very short night the night before. We managed to get up, get Granny going, me in the shower and doing some official work time as I'm remoting in from the office. We GOT there, that's the important part!!
We had mom at Via Christi St. Francis at 5:15a and ready for surgery check-in. They immediately took mom back, we said our love yous and prayers, and there she went, rolling in the opposite direction we were motioned.
Mom's surgery didn't begin until 7:3oa and we didn't hear from the surgeon until 11a. Dr. Porter said it went VERY WELL; that the tumor was quite VICIOUS (not a word I would normally here from a doctor). He was deteremined and successful in the removal of the tumor - hurray. There is lots of scarred tissue, but they anticipated that and stated that her pre-treatement of radiation and chemo was the best thing for her.
All in all, mom is doing well. Granny and I are both exhausted and I'm back to work as I finish out my remote-in day. Thank you for your prayers and everything. This is all thanks to God.
If you want to send flowers: Here's the address to the hospital. She will have to stay for 4 to 7 days post op for observation.
