MOM IS OUT OF SURGERY

Well it has been a very long day! Mom had to be at the hospital at 10:45, first they said they were starting on her at 12:00, then they called and said 1:00, then they called and said they were actually starting at 2:00. The surgery was finished at 7:00 p.m. It took 5 hours (doctor said to allow at minimum 4 hours). He came ans talked to us around 7:20 p.m. said she went through the surgery wonderfully. He did not see any cancer on the chest wall. He did however feel several swollen lymph nodes, took tissue samples and they will be sent to the lab. We should hear about these within 2-7 days. They could just be swollen from reaction to the biopsy. If they are cancer, she will have to have chemotherapy. But we will wait and see on the results. Whatever the case may be, as I have said before, she is going to be OK! She may have to go through some things, but again she will be OK! I worked this morning from 3:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m, and have been sick all day, getting worse as the day rolled on, therefore this is very short. I am going to bed and plan to stay there all day tomorrow to get better, so I can help with mom. Joi is off tomorrow and Friday, therefore, hopefully I can get better. Do not want to make Mom sick. Please keep her in your prayers, as you all have been, and with all our wonderful family and friends, she will pull through better than before. We love and appreciate each an everyone of you. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts!
