This is Tescille, writing for Mom. She is in the 9th hour of surgery. One of the staff came in about 30min ago to give us some face to face contact. Her blood pressure dropped and they had to give her a lot of blood. The kidney and tumor has been removed, but they are sealing up a small laceration on the spleen (made when they were taking out the tumor). They are pretty positive about her.

We have had quite a parade of loved ones today. We keep taking pictures of people who come through to visit. We'll keep updating as we go. Thank you for the prayers, we're not done yet.

always singing,
tescille
