Update for Sunday, October 9th, 2016

October 9th, 2016

     Mom looks like she feels like herself today. On arriving to her room today Sheila and I found it empty.  Wondering where they were, I called Dad to inquire.  Come to find out mom had done several laps around the unit with her IV pole and had decided to walk down to the cafeteria and all the way back up!

     The Doctors came in this morning and informed us that Mom’s surgery (Whipple procedure) will actually not be until Tuesday, not Monday as we had been previously told.  She is currently up in a chair and looking like herself for the first time in days.

     Continued prayers are appreciated and most specifically:  Prayers for a safe and successful surgery, negative resection margins (NO cancer left even at a microscopic level), a speedy and complication-free recovery, to prepare her body to undergo chemotherapy, and for any residual cancer cells to be prepped for eradication!

I claim victory in the name of Jesus!!
