November 7th

Today was a day to rejoice and be thankful for family. Today was a day that most of the family went to church together with my mother. Afterwards a private prayer session for my mother and family was given by Pastor Susan to gather in prayer for the upcoming surgeries this next week. Then everyone went out to my parent's house to decorate the entire house for Christmas. As I said before my mother LOVES Christmas and we knew it would bring a bit of sunshine upon her to have her family help her decorate the house and get the lights up. Although I, Jess could not be there in person I was definitely there in spirit.

Wednesday November 10th at 8 am Peggy will have the artery that is feeding the tumor taken care of via embolization. The Doctor will be entering through her femoral artery and working his way up to the artery in her skull. They will then cut off the blood supply to the tumor while keeping her artery in full working order and in a healthy state. She will stay overnight after this procedure and keeping completely still.

Thursday November 11th at 8 am my mother will have surgery to remove the tumor on her skull. This procedure can take up to 8 hours or more to do. She will then be closely monitored for the next few days at the hospital.

Here is the hospital's information. I will be updating this blog site as much as possible throughout the day. There will be family members with her at all times as we plan to stay near the hospital during her stay. We ask for you to keep my mother in constant prayer as well as our entire family as we climb this mountain set before us.
