Surgery

This morning about 6:45 our time, Virginia's mom, Ruby Bean, went into surgery for a masectomy. The surgeon had said that this surgery usually took 2 to 4 hours, and it took about 2.5 hours... things went as expected... no big surprises. I think we'll find out the lab results Monday or Tuesday.

We heard that, in typical Ruby fashion, she had found a cartoon (probably a masectomy joke) and had it pinned to her gown when they came to take her to the OR. Virginia's sisters tell us that before the surgery she was keeping all the nurses laughing.

We are so thankful that Ruby came through the initial surgery so well. We know she will be in a lot of pain over the next few days, so we appreciate continued prayers of those who may read this. Thank you!

Amazing things happen at times like these. Those who know Ruby are aware that being early or on time has never been a big priority... especially if it's early in the day. Yet, she was on time for her surgery... amazing.
