Mom's surgery is at 11am today. Please keep her in your thoughts. I will update how she is when I get home.

Update

Mom went in to the OR around 11:45 and didn't come out until 3:15. They removed the section of her rectum with the tumor in it, but had to put in a temporary colostomy bag. She'll have that for 3 to 6 months, hopefully less. Next week she'll meet with her oncologist about the chemo and radiation she'll have for follow up. She's pretty sure she'll have lost her hair by the wedding.

She was really groggy when we went to visit, so we didn't stay very long. We'll visit tomorrow before my doctor's appointment.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers.
