This Mother's Day I am grateful to have a healthy, tumor-free mom. What an awesome praise for an awesome God.
Today she came back from Duke University where she had her tumor removed from the pituitary gland and artery. It was such an unusual operation that we scoured the world for the surgeon! Luckily, Dr. Takanori Fukushima has performed 2,000 such operations and was both well-qualified and very confident - two qualities you hope to have in your brain surgeon! Even so, he said the surgery was very, very hard. He thinks he got it all so we are going to keep on praying over the next couple of months.
My mom is doing very well and resting up. Since she has dealt with surgeries and radiation for almost ten years now, she is hoping her sixties will be more fun than her fifties.
My sister and I are planning a tumor-free party in her near future...Nonapolooza anyone?
