Update: Thanks so much for Prayers..
As most of y'all know, my mother had colon surgery Tuesday. The surgery went well and she is recovering. The docs removed about 2' of her colon and was able to connect without using a temporary colostomy. They said that they removed a mass from the outside of her colon the size of a baseball. The mass has been sent to lab for a workup. The doc was sure that it was not malignant, but the testing will coming soon. She is recovering well and I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and prayers.
I think prayer is the ultimate gift you can give a person and I owe all of you much more than I can even fathom to explain.
The weather here in the Midwest is horrible....I can't wait to get back home. It snowed about 10" and the roads are trecherous. I hope the sun comes out tomorrow and melts it all away.

Apparently God controls weather as well-what chance do we have? If you knew where I live you could sympathize.
God bless the outcome for your Mom!
My faith is undescribable -I pray you have a mustard seed of it!

I'll keep praying for her recovery. So glad to hear that the surgery went well and the ostomy wasn't needed. That's such a blessing. Hang in there my friend.
One thing about prayers-you never owe for them

I'm so happy for your news
Having gone through liver/colon cancer with my ExH's mom, it's a good sign the Dr told you he was sure it wasn't malignant. In my experience the Drs don't try to give hope unless they are very certain they can. And I am also pretty sure your mother will now realize she can't put off urgent symptoms hoping they just go away. Even if something isn't malignant, a bowel obstruction is nothing to take lightly (not news to you I'm sure Ms RN!)
So love her and hold her as she recovers, then give her a talking to!
Love and hugs,

The power of prayer
Matthew 18:19 - 20, "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (KJV)
I'm glad your mom is going to be ok. Be careful on your trip back home. We will still be praying for you guys.

Thank you Disney for portraying a positive image on all stepmothers!!!!
I am so glad
she is okay. I agree that the DR's would not have said that if they didn't think it was true.
Drive careful!
