I will say special prayers for Molly during her surgery day and recovery. Keep us informed on the surgery and her recovery. Life is way to short to take serious. --- On Wed, 10/15/08, Tim and Pam <timpam2mocachers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Tim and Pam <timpam2mocachers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [GeoStL] Molly update To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 7:13 PM Pam and I wanted to give you an update. We took Molly in Tuesday for a check up and to find out what was going on with the tumor. It had gotten a black spot on it where they made the incision two weeks ago to drain the fluid. They determined the tumor had started to grow through the incision indicating that it has started to get very aggressive. All of the doctors talked and decided the only chance Molly has is to amputate her leg. They are certain the cancer has not moved out of her leg and that she will do just fine with three legs. So we decided to go ahead with the surgery. The only time they had open was tomorrow (Thursday) so she is back in Columbia . Hopefully she will get to come home on Friday we will just have to wait to see how she is doing Friday. We think we are doing the right thing but it was a very hard decision to make. She still has her spirit and is always happy and ready to go bye-bye. Tim and Pam www.PetPhotoKeepsake.com
