Update as of February 20th

Hello everyone!
Sybil/ Memaw/ Mom got her staples taken out today February 20th. Her port for Chemo will be put in on Monday February 25th, and the tentative start day for Chemo is March 5th. Please continue to pray and keep her in your minds and hearts.

Much appreciation,

Sybil Is Home!

And she is excited to be there.  Following the outstanding news of the successful surgery more good news followed about the tissue samples taken during the procedure.  All came back clean including the lymphatic material so we couldn't have hoped for any better news from her trip to Providence Hospital.

She is in the care of one very fine nurse (Lindsey) and one whip cracking supervisor (Julie) currently and will be until Sunday evening (2/17/2013).  Sybil is reading her cards, eating a bit, and on the mend for stage two of her treatment.  Tracy has put together an online meal scheduling tool  if you are interested - and we hope there is some interest!  The information is below.  Thanks on behalf of the matriarch and the rest of the family.

February 12, 2013 AM Update

Sybil is still in ICU at Providence Hospital and has been up, in a chair, and walked some since the surgery yesterday.  She is mostly coherent and has a decent understanding of the good news received yesterday.  She may be moved to a regular room later today.  So far so good and waiting on the test results of the samples taken from various places during the procedure yesterday.  Hoping to be home by the weekend if she can tough it out and prove herself which so far she appears to be doing.

She appreciates all the well wishes.

February 11, 2013 Update

By nearly any measure Mom/Sybil/Memaw's surgery went extremely well. Dr. Roy believes that the cancer was removed. To the human eye he said she was "clean as a whistle". Some chemo will follow after she has recovered a bit. She will remain in Providence Hospital for 3 or 4 days. Happy to be able to share good news.

February 8, 2013 Update

Sybil's surgery is scheduled for 9:30 AM Monday 2/11/2103 at Providence Hospital in Mobile, AL.  It is supposed to last from 2 to 3 hours and she will be staying at Providence for several days post-surgery.  Her new home phone number is 251-586-8467 and she is back at home in Daphne, AL.

February 7, 2013 Update

Sybil/Mom/MeMaw met with the Drs. yesterday and was sent for a stress test and more blood work today as the final hurdle before the scheduled surgery. The surgery will be at Providence on Monday or Wednesday of next week and she will be there for a few days we are told. So hopefully the tests today come out OK and she can move forward. Will post updates here as always.
