Hey everyone,
Just spoke with my mom about thirty mins ago. She sounds in good spirits. Her and and my aunt (flew down from Alaska to be with her, or I would have gone) are together as of this morning. Since about seven this morning, mom has been meeting with doctors all day. She's gone from one doc to the next, and has been examined head to toe, and back up again. She also met with her surgeon, Dr. Brackmann, and is really happy about the person he seems to be. She has a lot of confidence in him. She goes in tomorrow at nine LA time to get checked in for surgery, and is scheduled to begin around 12:30 LA time. I think that's 2:30 my time (MST). My Aunt will be in contact with me throughout the day while I'm at work, and when I get home, I will again contact you all and let you know how she did.
As for the rest of the night, I think she'll be having dinner and relaxing with Jeanette. and then work on a good night's sleep for tomorrow's surgery. You guys have been a wonderful source of info and comfort. I will make sure you all are kept informed, and not left in the dark wondering what's going on.
Take care, with love,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
Dr. Brackmann is a really nice guy and doctor and I say this from experience. If I called him with questions, before or after surgery, he always called me back. I can't wait to hear the good news, that your mom is doing fine! Hang in there, we are all praying for her. Ann

Hi Andrea - Confidence in her surgeon is the most important thing. I sense from your post that has also carried over to you and maybe you are feeling a little more at ease. She is going to be fine and tonight you will be able to rest alot easier.
