Surgery it is.

Looks like mom will be having surgery next monday (1/31).  I wasn't able to go to the doctor with Mom, Dad, and Ashley, but this is what I heard over the phone:

"Mom will be having surgery next Monday. The doctor says it looks like a simple surgery, so it will be outpatient. She'll be back in Ogden the same day. The benefits outweighed the risks, so it's a go ahead."

I still have some reservations about surgery,  but it's good to hear that Dr. Vargo can do something for her versus what Dr. Alder said. I'm glad she'll be out of pain.

Please continue to pray for mom!
