Visit with Dr. Robison This Afternoon

Dr. Robison (Gynecologist and surgeon who paired up with Dr. Ericson to perform the surgery last night) came in for rounds this afternoon and visited with Mom about the results of the surgery. He explained what he could about the nature of the tumor and Mom asked for as much detail as possible about what he found and what to expect. Dr. Robison indicated that the tumor was of a more aggressive variety, and it was one that was difficult to treat. We won't know until sometime next week what the true nature of the tumor is (i.e. where it originated, how aggressive it is, etc.), but Dr. Robison did not lead anyone to believe that complete extraction or full treatment of the tumor was very likely.
Mom is going to rest up tonight, on a much improved pain management regimen. She is doing really great and is excellent spirits, still keeping us in stitches and still seems to enjoy having all of her nut-case family around. :) She sends her love and thanks for all the prayers, fasting, and faith that have been exercised in her behalf over the last few days. Every time we tell her about how many people love her and are thinking of her, she says "Well, I love them," and you can see in her eyes that that is the absolute truth.
