A new surgery date!

Hi everyone,
Mom got a call today from the surgical staff and they are moving her surgery date up to next week the 30th of October. He surgeon is going to be out of town so they are rearranging his schedule.

Now, they want her up there on Monday for scans, and Tuesday to meet with Dr.Conrad, with surgery on Thursday. They have decided to just stay up there Monday night and not do the three trips up and back before the surgery. Hopefully this will make it a little easier on them both before the 5 day post op stay.

As always, we would covet your prayers as she goes into another unpleasant phase of this treatment. We should know after the surgery if she will be needing two additional rounds of chemotherapy.

Mom is doing well and getting along fairly well as her leg feels better and the skin is not so hyper sensitive anymore. She still needs to take it easy though and not be up walking around as it causes her leg to swell from upper thigh to ankle and foot.

This last couple weeks have been a treat not having to go to daily radiation, but the trick was in getting her in sooner than she was prepared for. Fortunately, she will have an extra week to heal before the holidays.

We continue to thank you and appreciate your love and support for Mom. She is truly an encouragement to me and so many others as she has such a positive attitude and heart of gratitude to the Lord and each of you.

With love,
Kimberly and family

Hi my Dahlin Deva,
Yes, things are always a changing aren't they? That little sister of yours should be on the high school cheering squad. You have quite a cheerleader there. She is the cutest thing.
Thanks for the information. Hope it is not very disappointing. You will be healed quicker than anyone knows. Glad you are staying in Seattle those two days. We'll be anxiously awaiting the outcome of the surgery and know that things will go well as God and all your cheerleaders are on their knees for the big one. I hate the discomfort you will go through, but perhaps the leg will heal quickly. I always rattle on but I do love you so much and I can't help wishing I were there with you and Warren and kids during the surgery. Know that we are here, just knowing we'll hear good news. You are so loved little one.

Hi from Texas. Been thinking of you all day. Hope you get some rest this evening and things go well Tuesday. Know you will be glad to be home Wed., day before the surgery. I presume this date is still good. DJ has been good about forwarding e-mails so I got the news about Gail and Chuck. Just wanted you to know we are thinking of you today sweetheart.
