The doctor just came and spoke with Dad (while I was away getting a hamburger for Dad!), so I missed it. But the basics are: the surgery is complete and was a success! They removed the tumor, and checked the surrounding area. It was all clear! Praise God!
They also removed a lymph node for testing (I think they only removed one...but again, Dad's hamburger.) but we won't know those test results for a few days.
Mom is wide awake and eating right now. She feels fine for the moment, but they are prescribing some pain medication. Once the nurse is ready, she'll be moved to another area until the anesthesiologist says she's good to leave the hospital.
We'll chill out at Crystal's place for the afternoon/evening and head back to Austin on Saturday. My parents will stay with me at my house tomorrow night, and then they plan to go back to Midland on Sunday.
It's amazing what medicine and techology are capable of accomplishing - all because God gave man the ability to gain the knowledge and figure it all out!

That is fantastic news. Tell your Mom that we are all praying for her. Also, tell her to pamper herself and to not even think about school.
