We got a call yesterday afternoon from my sister, Barb, saying Mom is going to have surgery. Initially, it was to happen Sunday evening, but for whatever reason, it's been delayed until today.

Mom's running a temperature and has an infection in her mid region that has spread to her back and legs. An aneurysm was also discovered and that needs to be repaired.

I'm asking for your prayers for Mom. She's a tough lady, the toughest I know. She's also tired, very weak, and 92 years old.

I'll update this as time goes along. For now, we're in central Illinois heading to Terre Haute, Indiana. 

After reading thousands of Tales from Pentoga, today, I'm asking you give back in the form of prayers for Mom.

Thank you.
