It's on...

I know you all have been chomping at the bit for an update. As some of you may know, Mom's surgery got bumped to a later time. She got bumped for a heart patient that was requiring extensive bypass surgery. We pray for strength and a speedy recovery for him/her and the family. Mom got her epidural placed and just got wheeled into the OR. We are in the ICU waiting room awaiting news for a long surgery. No, it's not mean to ask for that, it means that the lymph nodes are clear and they can proceed with the thoracotomy to remove the lobe. Thank you all for you prayers and well-wishes. Today has been extremely difficult and emotional for Mom and us. Please pray for her. She is one heck of a fighter so this cancer will not keep her down!
