We woke up at 4:00 am and headed off to the clinic at 4:30. The surgery was scheduled at 6:00 and she had to be there an hour before for prep. The surgery amazingly took place on time. It lasted about 40 minutes. Everything went well. The entire tumor was removed and put in little black baggy and set on her night stand next to her hospital bed. We are taking the tumor to a lab to have it analyzied to see if it was cancerous. She was not allowed to talk or lift her head for an entire day. I let her listen to my Ipod for awhile and Maribel also read some books to her.
Avis and Peggy arrived at the hospital around 7:30 to see her. At 8:00 Avis, Peggy and I went to go eat some breakfast and then we went to the courthouse to visit with a judge in the supreme court. It turned out to be a great visit and he wants to come see Casa de Paz next week.
After the meeting with the Judge I went back to the clinic and stayed there with Lourdes until about 1:30 and then I got a bus home. If everything goes well Maribel, Gladys, Avis and Peggy are bringing her back in the van today around noon.

The tumor on the night stand? Wow. Disturbing somehow. I am praying for Lourdes and her healing and comfort!
It sounds like a successful day! Hmm, the baggy reminds me of dad's wisdom teeth he saved ;) LOL! Gross!
That's a lot for one day. Glad it went well. I love reading your blog. The children need you there, and you are making a difference. Thanks for sharing. -Kim McRae
