Thankful

Today i am so very thankful for all the nice resources of our time. The great technology and things are wonderful.

On the 19th Shelley (Seans mom) had surgery, to rid her body of the cancerous tumor that had grown back in her kidney area. She had the kidney romoved 5 years ago because it was cancerous. While in surgery for 5 hours the doctor had found that the tumor had started to grow into the muscle that is on her back, and he had to remove alot of that and while doing so had to cut one major nerve. While explaining all of this he is saying that he thinks the nerve that was cut was the one that controls the lifting of your leg. So we were afraid that a lot of physical therapy and things would be a must. But to all of out blessing yesterday Shelley can lift her leg. So whatever nerve the doctor cut was not the important one and Shelley can't tell any difference to her body.

Shelley is doing great and will probably be in the Huntsman Center for 5 or so more day, but we are greatful that she should be able to make a swift and speedy recovery.
