[Magdalen] Prayers please...

Update on mom...

surgery went fine... 3 spots removed, 2 on face and one on leg (which had 
gone from this large ping pong sized growth a month ago to practically 
nothing, and since I've not really looked it since we were at the 
dermatologists, it was rather shocking to not be able to actually locate it 
at first when we lifted up  her pant leg... the doctor said the biopsy 
indicated it was cancer and was such a tumor that might 'go away' leaving no 
'bad stuff behind'... so win-win today, and mom is feeling good,  but 
somewhat unaware of what is actually under the bandages.  The two on  her 
face needed stitches and she ended up looking a bit like the bride of 
Frankenstein with stitches running from 1/2 below the corner of her eye, all 
the way down to the top of her chin, along her jawbone, before they covered 
up afterwards... we have photos.

I am grateful for your prayers
Lynn
