Update: Mom's surgery

Some of you know, my mom had surgery yesterday to remove half of her left lung. The lung specialist she had seen said he was 80% sure it was cancer because of the numbers her numerous scans and such had shown.

Well yesterday when the surgeron came out to speak to us he said that the mass they had removed did not feel or look like cancer. Instead it looked like a really bad infection that had gotten out of hand.

To say that we were all relieved would be an understatement.

Of course, they are doing multiple tests and everything on the samples they took and the mass itself just to be 100% sure it isn't cancer but for now it seems we got amazing news. The doctor said that they did an in-surgery test on her lymph notes to test for cancer and that came back negative.

She will be in the hospital for roughly 7 days to recover.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying or lighting a candle for my mom. I really appreciate it and would hope that you continue to do so in hopes that her recovery be that much faster.
