Good evening all my extended and wonderful blog family!!!
Thank you all so much for your well-wishes and prayers concerning my aunt. I just got home and I'm so very happy to say she came through her surgery very well and VERRRY feisty!!! This was no easy task getting her to do this and we ran into some problems with that, but when the dust settled, she went into surgery about 9:30 this morning.
The good news is that the doctor believes she got all of the cancer. They had to remove all but about 20% of her colon, however, there's enough left that she won't have to have a bag (if you know what I mean). What we don't know yet is whether or not she'll have tohavechemotherapy. That will be determined once the pathologist has examined the tumor and has checked her. But she woke up fussing and we knew then she was okay!!! LOL!!! She really is amazing eventhough she'll drive you crazy!!!
They did also see something on her liver but they said they don't think it's of any concern right now, and that it would be typical if it were just a "blood blister" (?????) which can occur after that kind of surgery. Anyway, I'm not going to start worrying over something that may be nothing -- I'm reporting GOOD NEWS!!!
Of course, I'll be back and forth at the hospital for as long as it takes; eventhough, she's in good physical condition, her age is still a huge factor in her recuperation and so her doctor will not be "kicking" out after the normal 2-day stay -- which isn't pleasing my aunt at all!!! LOL! What a relief though that is to me!!!
Anyway, I know I'll have a lot of catching up to do commenting on your blogs, but please bear with me, it may take me some time but once I can get her through this and settled at home, I will get to you all!!! I promise!!! I miss you, love your comments, and you're all in my thoughts that all is going well with you and yours!
Again, thank you so much for your prayers!!! They were answered!!!
I'll be seeing you!

I so glad to hear your Aunt is recovering and there is good news!! Make sure she keeps an eye on that liver. Glad she's feisty LOL! That's a good sign.

I'm so glad that she is doing well! It's good that she has family like you to keep her butt in line and make sure she gets good medical care. I'm having a really simple challenge on my blog to make some holiday packaging, and I KNOW you could come up with something amazing. If you get a chance come join in - I'm giving away a Winter Lace cartridge as a prize and I'd love to see what you make :)
