Grammy

Grammy (Mom's mom) had surgery last night. She had 12-14 inches of her colon removed. The section that was removed was dilated to the size of a football. YIKES!!! Her surgeon just happened to have already operated on a family member, he removed Terry's appendix several years ago, so that was comforting that we had already dealt with him. Grammy is in quite a bit of pain so please keep her in your prayers. Please pray that she have relief from the pain and that she has a quick recovery.

While we were in the waiting room some volunteers brought in therapy dogs. Bella nearly lost her mind. She did so good petting the dogs and of course the dogs were very gentle. She started laughing hysterically and could not stop. It was a really nice distraction. Here are some pictures of Bella and the dogs.

My Dad had that same surgery earlier this year.
I hope your Grammy heals quickly.
