Sherrill Update from Lisa

Ok, I said I would let you all know as soon as I found out, well, I found out!!

Sherrill's surgery is this Friday @ Integris. He has to be there by 8:30, surgery is scheduled @ 11:30. Aunt Martha is asking for family only but so many of Sherrill's friends consider him & themselves family that I don't think that she will get her wish. I know that I am taking off to be there. I have spoken to both Sherrill & Auntie M tonight & both had to hang up due to crying. Aunt Martha told me that she had been strong all day long & now she just had to let go & have a good cry. Then she was going to bed. I understand that she either tried to call Chester or she did reach him, she also told Beth. Not for sure about Fred or Oscar. She asked me to tell mom, unfortunately the sun is still shining therefore mom is still outside, won't come in until it gets dark!! The game plan per the surgeon is that they will make an incision underneath his armpit, break 2 ribs & do a biopsy first, if malignant, they will remove right upper lobe of lung, if not, they will sew him back shut. If malignant, he will be in ICU for several days, then moved to a room, then released, should be back to work in 3 weeks time. Haven't been able to talk to Ray to confirm all of this so this data could change!!

Gotta go, have muffins in the oven.

Love to you all,

Lisa
