Hi everyone. It's Mel here to report for mom who is recovering tonight in the intensive care unit at the Mayo Clinic after a successful surgery. After checking in this morning at 8:15 am, then waiting for pre-op at 12 noon, then surgery at 3:15 pm which lasted almost 4 hours, I am happy to report that all six tumors were removed and the kidney was saved. Praise God! Now, she is not out of the woods yet, but according to Dr. Chow, she did extremely well during the surgery. She is in a lot of pain but she was in good spirits when we left her a little while ago. We will be meeting with the doctor tomorrow morning at 8am to get a better report of what occurred and what we can expect. She asked me to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. If possible, send a short note to her at jessiesamfong@gmail.com and I will print them out for her to read tomorrow. I'm sure that your words of encouragement will help her during this painful recovery.
We would like to especially thank Pastor Bill Ashpole and his wife Bonnie Lou for stopping by this morning and saying a very special prayer for mom. They were very heartwarming and Pastor Bill's message made it a lot easier for all of us as we waited for the call for mom to go into surgery.
From all of us here in Minnesota, we would like to thank all of you for your kind words of support. The power of prayer is remarkable. Your prayers have allowed mom to survive this very risky surgery. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We will continue to update this blog daily, so feel free to drop a note and we will make sure it gets to Jessie. Take care and God bless you all!!
