BIG Update - Part "Mom"

So after all the drama a few months ago with mom, the ordeal is finally over (for the most part).  On Friday morning she went in to surgery and we were all very happy to find out that the cyst was NOT attached to anything (they thought they would have to remove part of her bowel and resection it as they thought the cyst was attached to it) and they were able to do the hysterectomy at the same time which means no more surgery :) (Which I doubt mom would have gone through having a separate hysterectomy after the last two surgeries).  She is in a semi-private room right now in Big City and is pretty comfortable.  They took out the pain pump and she is just using T3's at this point which is good.  The back pain she had been getting is already different, still pain but not the same feeling as before. They have even got her up and walking a little (from the bed to the bathroom to the door and back). The doctor said it was pressing up against her central nervous system so having it removed should fix a lot of problems.  The doctor who did the hysterectomy said the cyst was the size and shape of a decent sized turkey!  They guess between 8 and 10 lbs!  Dad is still down there with her and will stay there until at least after talking to the doctor on rounds on Monday.  He will decide then, and talk to me and see how I'm doing here alone with K, about if he will come home or stay up there longer.
