Pat and surgery

It's been a long and frankly awful road these last months with Dad's wife, Pat, and the cancer. The chemo was useless, leaving her and everyone close to her dizzied with frustration. Tomorrow is the big surgery to remove the unfazed tumor.

It's... well, it's a very big deal and it's not too dramatic to say that there's a lot at stake this time around. We're worried. Optimistic, but... there it is.

Just received this note from Dad:

Just a note to let you know that Pat's surgery is a go for tomorrow. She went to her doctor today to see if her cold would prevent her from having surgery, and he said that it was viral and should not have impact on her for surgery. She has her surgery at 8:00 in the morning as you know and the surgery should last anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on what they get into. It'll be a long day for sure for us.... and we're praying for skill and wisdom for Dr. Jenison and Dr. Danesis. And I think you know that she'll be at Akron General. I'll have my cell phone with me and I'll call as soon as Dr. Jenison comes down and talks with me.

Thanks for the prayers.

*** Note: It's midday on the 17th as I post this. (Blogger was acting up.) So, Pat should be in surgery as I type this. Sorry about the late update. Again, thanks for the prayers. ***
