Well, she looked pretty good again, like she did a week ago, and she's decided she still has a little bit of fight left in her after all.

There is no longer a 'choice' about having the surgery, she has to. If she doesn't then the week or two stands, but if they are successful with the surgery it has the potential that it could possibly buy her another 6-8 weeks. They won't know anything until they get in there Friday.

Friday was the earliest opening they had for the OR, and she could still get bumped, but let's hope not.

So, we are still holding on by a wing and a prayer!! We're all simply exhausted,........ we'll head back up Friday. Her brother, Ben, is flying in from Colorado to be here for the surgery, too. She hasn't seen him in several years so she's excited about that. I'm not sure, but I think Courtney, who will be 11 next month, was only a toddler the last time he was here so this is really wonderful for her.

It was a good visit.... another hard day, but good at the same time, if that makes any sense. All we can do now is to keep praying.
