Mom's Surgery Update...

My mom went in for her back surgery today with high hopes of correcting the problems that have developed since the last surgery. My Dad called me this morning about 10:30 and said unfortunately, when they opened her up, they found that she has a "pocket" of infection in the area that was to be operated on. So, long story short, they had to close her up and must clear up the infection before they can proceed. Obviously, very disappointing news. If the infection is able to be cleared up, she may still have the surgery done later on in the week - but time will tell on that! Keep her in your prayers as I know when she wakes and learns that she has not been "repaired", she will be terribly disappointed. PS...Any well wishes to her would sure be appreciated. She is at St. Vincents in Portland.
