Big breath.

Good luck. We all look forward to hearing from your sister and reading your blog to see how things go. You have a lot of people here who will keep you in their thoughts and lots of prayers, too.

See you on the other side (as a postie)  ;D

Good luck on Tuesday  ;D

I'll be in the tube of gloom myself - having my 2nd post op MRI - so I'll spend my time thinking about, and praying for, you.

Tell your sister thanks in advance for the updates; we just love updates around here.

See you as a postie!  ;D

Best,

Jan

FYI, posted on her blog by cjtender's sister Kelly:

"Praise the Lord!!
Ken just called and said the surgery went very well. They were able to get the whole tumor. He won't be able to see her for another hour or so. He is tired and anxious to see her. Please continue to pray for her and Ken. "

I'm glad things went well and that it's over.

Regards,
Brian

Thanks for the first update on Patty, Pooter  ;D

Glad the AN was entirely removed. 

Will keep Patty - and Ken - in my prayers.
