Hi Everyone! Michele's surgery was a success and went smoothely. The doctor was very pleased and only had to remove 10 inches of her colon. He was very optimistic that the cancerous polyp was smaller (only dime size) than he originally thought. He said it didn't look like it had spread to the lymph nodes but we will know for sure on Wednesday. He checked out her liver and said it was fine. The other area Michele was concerned with was the cysts on her ovaries. The doctor broke them up and said she is fine in that area as well. We sat with her for a while after recovery while Scott held her hand. She is having a lot of pain. Our prayer requests for her is that the pain won't last long and won't be too much to handle. Also that the results on Wednesday will confirm that the cancer has not spread. Michele has really enjoyed reading the comments from everyone. We plan on printing them off and reading them to her throughout her stay in the hospital this week. Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts. On behaf of Michele's extended family we can't express enough how much we appreciate your support.
Sisters in life & prayer,
Linda, Donna, and Carol

Michele,
I am so happy to hear that everything went well today and I will be praying that everything comes out well on Wednesday.
I've read all of your blog entries and I have to say that you are very brave! But, you are a mom, and that is your job. I love Megan's idea of framing your colan! Can you imagine? It would be quite a conversation piece! Maybe you could auction it off on Ebay - people will buy anything these days! lol...
My parents send thier love and prayers. Keep being brave and don't lose your sense of humor.
Love Kellie
p.s. I hope Donna is making those cookies from scratch! lol...
I am glad you are doing better. I do like the selling of the colon on ebay idea. It isn't any worse than some of the other stuff they sell. Maybe there could be a bidding war!--mhtalbut
Michele,
