Surgery's Over

Mom is out of surgery and in recovery, awake and talking to the doctors. She'll be moved to a room shortly.

The surgeon reported to my dad that the surgery couldn't have gone any better. There was very little bleeding and he was very pleased with the outcome. Dr. Hardcastle will get the pathology report later tonight or in the morning, so he'll have more specific information on the cancer then.

Dad, Jill and Pam were at the hospital this morning along with several other family friends. Dad said that despite the reason they were there, they had a really good time catching up with some friends that he hadn't seen in a very long time. Dad did make the comment that with 3 preachers there waiting for Mom to get out of surgery, they were likely to have revival right there in the waiting room!

Thank you all for your prayers this morning. You have no idea how much it means to all of us to know that Mom was completely covered in prayer and lifted up before the throne of God. We will continue to pray for her protection as she goes through recovery and then for strength as she starts chemo in a few weeks.

We'll update again when we know more!
