Surgery was scheduled for ten. There was a delay so surgery didn't happen until eleven. Mother was so nervous and just wanted to get it over with. She was in surgery about an hour and a half.
The surgeon visited with us after surgery and said everything went fine and that the tumor had grown to the size of a tennis ball. We were able to see her for a short time in recover before they moved her to a room. We were all so relieved that surgery went well but, were in shock that the mass had grown to the size of a tennis ball.We spent the afternoon with Mom. She slept most of the day.
My sister stayed the night at the hospital with her.We returned the next day to find Mom dressed and sitting on the side of the bed visiting with my sister. They both looked worn out.
The nurses were taking care of a few things before releasing Mom from the hospital. Mom was ready to go home so she could get some rest. She had a nurse at her bedside every hour asking her about her pain level and taking her vitals.

Dawn Relaxing
This is typical when Dawn sits down to relax. It seems this is the only way the kids can relax too!
Everyone wants to sit in Mom's lap. The newest addition ( Abby) has had no problem making herself right at home.
She and the boys get along great and she play just as rough with them as they do with her!

Been Busy
I haven't posted anything lately because we have had so much going on. We are still going through tons of stuff. I do mean STUFF! We now have a two car garage filled to the brim with boxes. The next step is to find an open weekend when we can step up our first garage sale. We had funerals, sinus infections and a few other items that have caused us to postpone the first of many garage sales.
We also found out that mom has breast cancer. This news has definitely put a stop to everything. We will be putting everything on the back burner until we get things taken care of with her. It took a week to get the results back from the biopsy. That was a long week. The results we did get was devastating. We were told that she has breast cancer. She has Mucinous Carcinoma of the Breast. It is stage 1. It appears to be a slow growing cancer. Stage 1 is early.
We will know more next week after the consultation with doctor at the cancer center.

It's A Girl!
That's right, we now have a little girl. Not that we were looking to expand the family, but things happen!
This is Abby.
She was left in a carrier outside a closed animal shelter. She was just abandon. How could anyone just leave a dog out in the heat (at least 100 degrees), alone like that? Anyway, A friend called and asked if we could please take her. She is as cute as cute can be! Our vet tells us she approximately 3 years old and is heart worm negative. She was however, covered in fleas and had lost a good bit of hair on her back from the constant scratching. We made sure she got all her shots and have taken care of the flea problem. She was given a good bath and she looks great. She wieghs about 10 lbs. and loves to eat. She is a Shih Tzu mix. She doesn't mind car rides. We think she will be a great little camper!
She has made herself right at home! The boys don't seem to mind having her around. She really wants to be alpha dog but We don't think Mr. Willey is going to let that happen. She and Otis have become fast friends.
