7:30 am

Mom was taken into surgery this morning around 7:30 to remove the tumor.

Her surgery time was changed several times even this morning but we were thankfully able to all be taken to the basement where she was just before they took her into surgery. The Dr. came and talked with Dad, Mom, Joe and I before surgery. She was ready to have the surgery done and have it behind her.

We were told it would take a minimum of 3 hours and then she would be in recovery.

Joe, Nate and I arrived last night around 3:00am and were able to go see Mom in her room. She was awake and looking stronger than she had sounded on the phone earlier. Nothing felt so good as to hug her!! We were all able to visit for about 30 minutes then we came to the hotel about 5 minutes from the hospital were we got a couple of hours of sleep before Uncle Jim called and said,"They are taking her to surgery at 7:30." We had been told 9:30 so we all jumped up and got over to see her just before she went into surgery. The Lord worked all the timing out and we are so thankful we were able to see her again this morning.

Thank you for your prayers. Will let you all know more when we can.
