October 28th Surgery, Pack Mtg., Julia's Choir

We were blessed with a miracle today.  Mom went in for her surgery.  She is half way through her chemo and after convincing the cancer doctor (Dr. Beck) that Mom for sure wanted to try it, Dr. Soyson did her surgery.  Katrina, Lisa, and I all met Dad up at the hospital early in the morning and she went in a few hours later.  It was really strange because while I felt confident that it wouldn't go well, I was also very at peace.  Fortunately I was wrong.  Several hours after going into surgery, they came out to tell us she did AMAZING.  The three donut size tumors had shrunk.  One was completely gone, and the other two just slid right off.  They didn't have to take any of her colon and they said it couldn't have gone any better.  Heavenly Father certainly performed a miracle for us and I am so grateful.  She got into her room around 4:00 and we visited for a while.  Then I made it home just in time to see the boys off to Cub Scout Pack Meeting while I took Julia to her school choir concert.  My visiting teacher had even made us dinner so we didn't have to worry about that.  What a beautiful, blessed day.
