Quick update

For those of you wondering, my mom goes into surgery on January 14th. She is doing so much better mentally than I ever expected, and I am so proud of her. She is even going on vacation this week with my dad, and I pray she can sit back and enjoy it a little. She is still in a lot of pain most of the time, so the cancer never seems to let her forget, but I am hoping some time away from the routine of life lets her have some fun!
