Surgery went great!

Mom said that she woke up this morning (Thursday March 3) before the sun came up.  She went downstairs and sat on the couch where she always sits.  She snuggled up because it was dark and cold-- and she spent time praying-- getting herself ready for the day to come.  And while she sat in the cool darkness, she closed her eyes in prayer.  Suddenly she felt a warming sensation on her face and body, and she felt a light on her.  She opened her eyes to find the sunlight streaming in through her dining room window, reflecting off of a glass picture frame on a wall, directly on the place she sat on the couch.  She said it was like the Light of the World stepping out from the darkenss (like Chris Tomlin sings in Here I am to Worship).
God has been shining on her today...and has been with her consistently throughout this journey.  From the phone call she received yesterday giving her the good news of a surgery time for today to the calmness of her spirit as she arrived at the hospital.  And then the wonderful news Dad and I received when the surgeon came out to the waiting area to tell us that the surgery went exactly as planned and that mom did great. 
They removed the tumor and a portion of her lymphnodes under her right arm.  We should get the pathology report back from those samples in one week.
Mom is resting comfortably in the hospital.  Like Mary and Joseph, there were no "beds in the inn" when I left mom.  So she was still in the recovery area.  They were taking good care of her there and hoping to move her at some point tonight to a regular hospital room. 
She is scheduled to go home tomorrow at some point.  I assume it will be early afternoon.
She has a follow up appointment with her surgeon on the 15th.  And will also meet with her oncologist about the next phase of her treatment (chemo) in about two weeks also.
Until then, I will post again if there is more to report on.  Otherwise assume that she is resting comfortably at home and is being well taken care of by her loving husband. 
Thank you all for your prayers again.  So very powerful!
