update 4 August 2011

Good morning all, this is Bobby. We are at the Anschutz inpatient complex at University of Colorado in Denver Colorado. The hospitalist Dr Roberts just informed us that mom will indeed be in surgery to remove the tumor that is in her brain. He is contacting optamology to hopefully take care of the tumor in her orbit at the same time however with such short notice there may be a scheduling conflict. Mom is in great spirits today with her pain being a 1/2 on a scale of 1 -10. We are all thankful that finally we are getting progress and results in this matter, being that the brain tumor is what is of immediate concern. Updates will follow today once mom is out of recovery. Thank you to everyone for your concern, support, and prayers. As mom said this morning "Today is a wonderful, wonderful day!"
