Uncharted Territory

Tomorrow is the day, my mom has her major surgery that will put her on the road to recovery and a normal life with no pain once again. I just wish the surgery was not so major, she will be out of work for close to 2 months while she heals. My mom has always taken care of us and none of us are used to her being down for this long. She checks in tomorrow morning at Methodist North at 7 am. If all goes to plan she will go back for her surgery at 8:30. Per her surgeon, she will be in surgery close to 3 hours. I'm asking for thoughts, prayers, pretty much anything you are willing to give at this moment. She is so brave and ready for this to be behind her and we are just ready for her to feel better and get that chicken tender salad from Court Square Cafe she has wanted for months! (if you know anything about Crohn's disease, salad is a NO NO!) So now our roles switch, we will be there to take care of mom and make sure she is comfortable and get her back to feeling good again! I plan on taking Anderson to see her tonight since it will be a while before she can hold him again, and then tomorrow starts the journey to recovery! So again, please if you have a quick second tomorrow say a prayer for her! Thanks for checking in! We love you all!
