Mom's 3rd Surgery

On September 16th my Mom went in for her 3rd surgery to remove tumors. Misty and I took her to the hospital super early that morning and prepared for a long day of waiting. Her previous 2 surgeries had been between 6-8 hours. They told us it would be about 2 1/2 hours but we figured we'd probably be there a lot longer. This time they actually proved us wrong and were done within 3 hours! We didn't know if this was good or bad! We went in the consultation room to wait for the Dr and were both silent (you know how hard that is for an Adam's girl!) until he finally came in the room. I think he could tell from the looks on our faces how anxious we were because as soon as he walked in the door he told us the surgery went great and that Mom was doing well. He said that all three tumors were about the size of baseballs and all were sitting on major arteries. They had to be extremely careful not to knick anything or cause severe bleeding, he took his time and worked very carefully on each one and was very successful! After lunch Misty and I went to her room to see her and couldn't believe how good she looked! This is the best she has looked or felt after surgery! She came home on Saturday the 19th and is already walking around a bit and is looking great! This surgery was truly a miracle and I know it was all thanks to the many prayers said by family, friends and people in the community. Thank you for all that you have done for our family and always looking out for my Mom!
