She made it through

Hey Everyone,

It's Stacey, my Mom asked that I update this for her. She made it through surgery yesterday. They got all the cancer and had to take about three lymph nodes. The doctors feel very confident that the cancer had not spread. We are just so glad she made it through this stage. Today they will monitor her at the hospital and then she'll probably come home in the afternoon/evening.

She is such a fighter and I'm so proud of her! While she was waking up she said to my Dad and I, "I did my best you guys!" She had tears in her eyes and made my Dad and I both choke up. Then later she told us, "I'm going to be a survivor!!" Again, making everyone in the room cry. We are so thankful she is up for this fight! She is such a strong woman and we know with God on her side nothing can stop her!

Please continue to pray for all of us. This is a long and tiring road but we are just going to keep walking together. Thank you for all the support, encouragement and prayers for my Mom! She couldn't have made it without all of you!

More updates to come...

Love,
Stacey

I've been reading everyday to check on Susie! Glad to hear "She made it through":D Your Family is in my thoughts and prayers!
When I was a little girl, in Sunday School we used to sing this song: Be Bold, Be Strong. For the Lord our God is with me! I'm not afraid, No, I'm not afraid! I've been singing it for Susie now! :D
Lots of love!

She was so cute how she looked up at us and said I did my best! And we said you did! She said the doctor got it all? And we said yes! She said I know it is a God thing! Love you Mom!!
