Ok, well we went up to the hospital today.
Got her all checked in. She has a semi-private room, and we have her iPod all loaded up with audiobooks and tv shows to watch. Has a cell phone so she can send me text messages...
And it begins. They swarmed on her with all kinds of tests. Blood tests had five vials to fill. EKG's (standard before surgery) and extra sonograms.
Sonogram and x-rays have docs reconsidering if all is gone. Might end up needing a lop-ectomy (as in "lopping off parts") after all... but, that'd be a second surgery at another date.
Bottom line? We don't know. It's like the TV shows where the face is wrapped in bandages and no one knows the results, and there's the dramatic unwrapping scene... well, that's tomorrow. We'll know what we're facing when she comes out of surgery.
So, please keep those prayers coming. Remember, she started with a 13cm tumor and a prognosis of "terminal". And she's still here...

As much as it may become routine, it must be awful each and every time to see someone so precious to you going through all that.
Will keep you both in our prayers. She's proved she's tough, already, and has surpassed the expectations the docs had, right? Stay strong. Good luck with your daily schedule. TRY to find time to rest, yourself! I know it's tough but you need to take care of YOU or you won't be able to take care of THEM!
Y'all are in my prayers!
