Please keep my mother in your prayers. She has been disabled for about 6 - 7 years, maybe a little longer and since then she also began receiving dialysis. Her doctor has been talking about surgery for some female problems and today she was told by the surgeon that he wants to do a total hysterectomy as soon as possible (as soon as her cardiologist clears her). During this surgery she will have two other surgeons there; one to repair a hernia that a previous doctor said was not in existance (come to find out it was a hernia there) and the other to remove alot of the excess skin, since she has lost about 100 - 150 lbs since she started dialysis. They say that it is a 27% chance that she may have cancer, but they won't know until they do the surgery.

She is in good spirits. I think that's what I love about my mother, she is not a complainer. She said she prayed about it and her faith will get her through. I lost my father last year (March 2001) to pancreatic cancer and he was the same way. From the day they diagnosed him to the day he died (which was less than 9 months) he was strong. He was more worried about his family than about himself. My mother and my father were divorced, but they had come to tolerate each other over the years. I believe deep in my heart that she will be okay, but please say a prayer for her that God would bring her through.

Thank you

Ursula

P.S. you know we are scheduled to leave for Disney in 7 days. After she told me what her doctor said, she said you go ahead on your trip, I'll be alright. They estimate that she will be in the hospital for about 10 days or more. I feel bad leaving her, but I think she is thinking more of Matthew's being disappointed than anything. The good thing is that we have more than enough church family and extended family to keep her company.
