Yeah!!! We are back online again..You dont know how much you miss internet until you dont have it for a few weeks...

24 hours

Mom has been home for about 24 hours..some hours rougher then others but in all ok. Here she is resting in the recliner.

Mom is Home

She is tired an sleeping but she is home..

Mom

We got there to see mom this morning an she told us she was tired today...Which was understandable when she went walking 6 time yesterday..Today she didnt walk as often but she came to the waiting room an played cards with us this afternoon ,after 2 games of golf she went back to bed she was very tired. That was at 4 an then we came home for the nite..Laura is busy scrubbing stains out of living room carpet. dad is playing on puter an now i am done vaccumeing so the house will be clean when mom comes home..Tomorrow we will be going back up early so we can go to church at the hospital an spend the day with mom...with any luck at all mom will Toot tomorrow so she can get some food..she is still only getting ice water an very little of that an cough drops..The doctor that came to see her today told her to chew gum cause some times it tricks ur stomach in to working..Dad seems really tired tonite so i look for him to go to bed early. Other then that all is well here.

Dumb Dog

Not only once but twice Ginger went in the box trap..Will she ever learn ??? NO I dont think so..But it was funny when Mathew came in the house to tell us the pig farm dog was in the trap..HIm an Mini couldnt wait to let her out...

Update Mom

we are just back to the farm from a day at the hospital visiting with mom..She is doing very well. They already have her up an walking not even 24 hours after surgery. she was very sleepy this morning but much more alert late in the afternoon..Just as soon as she toots she can have the tube taken out of her stomach..They removed the insulin IV drip late afternoon so tomorrow she will be moved to a regular room..So for now all looks very good..

mom

It is now three an a half hours in surgery time. We are hopeing no news is good news, so far the only thing we have heard is that she has a lot of old scare tissue so it is going to take a little longer. Dad is holding up well...Lots of kids are here an moms sisters are all here..will post again when we know something...

Surgery Day

It is still very early here at mom an dads, everyone is still sleeping. Coffee is cooking just like every other morning here..But in a few hours the house will be a whirlwind with activity. Moms surgery is today. We have a list to check an double check to make sure it all gets to the hospital with us. Its is going to be a very long day. Watch my blog an i will up date you all as we get up dated at the hospital..I will be sending out emails also as surgery progressives..Joey was here to visit an play cards with us last nite..LOTS of cards have been played they last few days to keep mom busy..Mom is holding up better then i thought she would..She sure had to drink a lot of junk yesterday to get cleaned out . Today she gets nothing by mouth so we will have to wait an see what her blood sugar does.Dr Gardener asured us we can give her sprite if she gets to low there will be no insulin today. If you have any questions call my cell phone AFTER 7am..
For moms surgery you will need to take the A elevator to the A level. Iam thinking this will work like her last surgery where once we are at the hospital only Dad will be able to see her befor surgery. Say lots of prayers for mom an dad today they will need them all..Love an Miss you all

Tuesday Mom , Dad an I went to see the surgeon. Moms surgery will be Wed at 2 pm in St Cloud. Yes she does have cancer in her colon. It is also in her liver about 2 inche long an also a spot on her lung the size of a dime..For now they will only be fixing the colon. One thing at a time. After she is healed from this surgery she will be doing Kemo for the lung an liver. So we will be taking it all one day at a time. Helping were ever mom an dad need help. I will be here in minnesota for another week an from there i dont know how long. Larry is here with me now but will be going back to Iowa some time after surgery on wed, depending how things go.
