Lovin' my Liver

My blog is more about my kids than me but I guess it is my time now to share... I have a benign (we are praying) large tumor in my liver, and several small masses.  I will have the big one removed tomorrow and as many of the little one's  that he can remove easily.  I am praying that we find it is all benign and that the removal is minimal.  My kids will be at Ryan house again.  The most difficult challenge for me  will be to be away from them.  They say I will be in the hospital for up to 5 days.  Luckily Ryan house is a walk away so hopefully the kids will be able to come visit me and cuddle me in my hospital bed.  As always we appreciate your prayers and good thoughts for my health and our family.  I do have a movie list and a stack of books.  Perhaps this is my wake up call, my body telling me it's okay to lay down and rest.  I will update once I am feeling up to it.  Surgery is Wednesday at 7:30 am. xoxoxo

On a lighter note, here are some photos from Day of the Dead and Fall Festivities:

Minnie Mouse!

And the "Last Emperor" sitting at his golden throne.

Mamas....
