Boy What A Day!

Well, where do I even begin....
I had gotten up early today to make it to an 8 o'clock doctors appointment. I was on my way down stairs and Mom starting yelling out for Chuck. She was in a lot of pain and thought it was a muscle spasm. Turns out it was not. We all thought it was Kidney Stones. I got her to the Emergency Room, our emergency room is not equiped to conduct surgeries as of yet, small town. The doctor did not like how mom was feeling so he ordered a CT Scan. I saw the scan boy was it ugly. They immediately called for an ambulance to rush her to the medical center and felt they would most likely do surgery. We got there and sure enough they did. The doctor came out and explained to us that Mom's Kidney look like it had just shattered! In his 17 years of practice he had never seen a 3cm tumor do this to a kidney. He was taken completely by surprise and stated that she was going to be the topic of discussion at a convention he was attending soon. He also stated that she was very lucky.
Mom is doing good, we saw her before we left to return home. She had her color and her face was no longer swollen. We will see her first thing in the morning with a surprise. My Uncle Kenneth, her brother, flew in from Colorado. I can't wait I know that will perk her spirits right up. Then my sister and two nephews will be in this weekend, another perk for Mom.
Anyway for all of you who prayed for my Mom, your Aunt, your Cousin, or simply your Friend, Thanks, My entire family really appreciates it and will always remember each of you in our prayers.
