Dodi is doing really well. We have finally gotten her blood sugars fairly under control and that is a relief! I haven't posted for a while because on Tuesday, 9/6, Ken and Dodi talked with the surgeons both here and in Salt Lake. The surgeon in Salt Lake expressed concern over conducting the surgery on someone mom's age. He said he would do it but he was concerned about mom's ability to make it through the surgery and about her ability to recover from the surgery.
Ken, Dodi and Sharie talked about the whole decision alot on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning mom woke up saying she didn't want to do it. She said she wasn't afraid to die and she knew she was going to die someday one way or another. She just didn't want to go through a surgery that was going to make her hurt more and wasn't going to help to relieve any of the pain that she currently lives with.
We are honoring her decision and have let the folks in Salt Lake know she won't be coming down for the surgery.
The humorous side of this very serious decision, is that Dodi's primary concern was whether or not we would still take her camping to Yellowstone if she decided to not have the surgery!!!! Yes, of course we will be taking Dodi camping to Yellowstone!
In fact, my family is having a large family reunion in Concordia, MO in October and we are trying to figure out a circuitous route to go camping to Yellowstone on our way to Missouri! Hopefully we will get to see alot of folks during our travels.
