The Servant's Quarters

I called over to the house earlier this morning. I was surprised that Mom answered the phone, sounding her usual self. (Didn't this woman have major surgery a couple of days ago?) She told me that everything had been all right last night, although she did have some restlessness because of the pain. Dad had, likewise, had an uneventful night.

The nurse came by this morning as well. She emptied the drains and redressed the site of the operation. She said that Mom seems to be doing great.

I expect that things will be fine and fairly uneventful over the weekend. On Monday, Mom has an appointment with her surgeon. The tests on her lymph nodes should be back by then.

I want to thank God for the blessings He's given us already. Mom's recovery is going so well. It must be His doing.

Please continue praying that Mom won't require any additional surgery and that she will have an easy time tolerating the chemotherapy when it begins in about three weeks.
