The past few days have been relaxing for all of us. Not that company was not wanted or needed it was great visiting keeps all of our minds occupied on the visit, stories and such.

Brian stopped by yesterday and he downloaded a bunch of classical music for mom on her Ipod. She will enjoy listening to it and it should be more relaxing than hearing all the noise in the hospital. Brian as always you are the bomb!

Most of you know mom and she loves her garden/yard and she has spent some good time out there yesterday and today. Everything is now planted and of course sprayed with miracle grow. She told she hopes when she comes back from the hospital that it all still looks good. I guess that will be my mission when she in the hospital so if anyone reading this sees me slacking please come grab our hose and water and dead head!!!! Everyone wants to know what they can do so there it is haha

Mom is doing alright her symptoms now are tired, some pain, not really hungry but bossy as always. She is also a little irritable as you can imagine, its the anticipation of the surgery. I guess i would be too! The things she likes to eat now are strawberries (hopefully some "special" ones tomorrow) and Graeters rasberry and lemon sherbert. So Kati and Steph if you are reading this. anytime you want to bring a dip over bring it on! Also, for you locals go to Graeters for your ice cream and ask for Steph and/or Kati!

Our cousin ( wow we have alot of cousins ) Nancy Cool is coming tomorrow night at 5:40. I think the plan tomorrow will be some dinner and Graeters for dessert and hopefully we can have a gang at Graeters and sit and enjoy ice cream and visit.

Now for the surgery info it will be Tues around 2:30-3:00 it will take about 4 hours for the full surgery ( whipple procedure ). If I mentioned this before sorry for the repeat. Dr Price will go in and look if he sees this is recectable he will remove all he can and she will be in the hospital for about 2 weeks. After that she will have to get some chemo/radiation to kill whatever cells might be left and prevent it from comeing back. If he see that he can not remove successfully then he will close up and then we go antother route and if I am not mistaken he said she would be in the hospital only a few days.

Whatever the case is, please dont worry about going to the hospital to see her. This is what she wants. If it is the 2 weeks she needs to just recoup, rest and get strong. Also, I will try to keep all posted via this blog, texting and face book. As for now I am having trouble posting on here from my phone as you have seen it comes across like ??/??////. I will TRY to get this right before Tuesday but if not it will be text and face book so please pass the word on no matter how I do it, thanks!

We all should feel good about the surgery as we have a great surgeon, which BTW I found out he does like 25+ per month so he knows what he is doing. I might have said this before in another post, I really cant remember what I said and to who so I know you understand if I am repeating.

You know I dont know what I should or shouldnt say on her but here it is... I am NOT ready to loose my mom so the Bible says if 2 or more are in agreement.....so that means I need/want you all to agree with me that surgery will go great all will be removed and NO complications and we will have many more years to come. I am ready to stand on that promise because God does NOT lie...so be with me on this!

I know this is long post, but I have not written for a few days and I dont want Becky to worry :) Love you Becky! I hope I have informed all of you and have answered any questions that you all might have and if not just ask. I love ALL your support
