At 530am Phoenix time (830am EST), my Mom and Dad will be checking her in at the hospital for her 830am (930 EST) surgery. It goes without saying that this is going to be a long day for my family.
My sister will be there with my father, as will my Mom's and Dad's two best friends, Mary & Angie.
Please hold my Mom in your thoughts and prayers today, send strength to my father, and support to my sister, Mary and Angie as they in turn provide the "ground zero" support for my parents.
I will update you all as I hear from them during the surgery and after as my mom begins her recovery.
Linda
Positive thoughts and prayers coming your way!

Even before you posted, I had your mom in my thoughts and prayers today. It's amazing the things, medically speaking, they can do these days. I'm praying not only for your mom, dad and family, but also for the doctors performing the surgery, that God guides their hands throughout. Please keep us posted - you know we ALL will be waiting and praying.

I've been praying since I got up at 4:30 EST. I will continue to pray that God gently guides the hand of her surgeon and that He gives you serenity as you await good news.
