Monday, Oct. 26

Mom did have a surgery yesterday, but it was, again, only exploratory. I think they did more draining in her leg/hip. That will certainly help, but, for her major pelvis surgery, we are still waiting.
Dad went back down (after resting at home on Sunday), and he called to say the (draining?) surgery went well. She came out of anesthesia very well-- I don't think she had another embolism or anything.

As of now, that is all I know. She is awake, doing well, and waiting patiently. I'm sure she is very discouraged though; the doctors made it sound so definite that she would have pelvis surgery yesterday.
It's been three weeks of surgeries and waiting... she just wants it to be over. Please pray for patience and for things to occupy her mind. We are so grateful for her cheerful attitude and her concern for us! That's my Mom ;) God is so gracious....

  1. That sure is your Mom - cheerful and thinking/concern for her kiddos. I pray that the surgery will be soon but also that her body is ready for it. Love you all! Jesus is with you each and every step.

  3. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 This has been my personal verse for the month and has become one for you, I am afraid, as well!!! But we can't go wrong with these words to guide us,no matter our circumstances.
