It's official: Mom goes in for surgery on January 31. She's getting the tumor removed, and getting a colostomy as well. If all goes well, she'll spend 3-5 day in the hospital, probably learning more about her treatment. We're all nervous, especially since she's 78 years old. Dad's taking the day off, of course. So are Little Sis and her boys; she thinks they'll be too distracted to do much. She hopes to convince our other sister with kids to let her boy stay home from school, too. He's already missed a lot of days of school this year, though, so that's going to be a tough sell.
Anyway, we could use a lot of prayers right now.
Thank you.
