Prayers for my mom

This afternoon my mom is heading to Michigan, and first thing tomorrow morning her procedure will be performed.  I am beyond grateful for her friend who is taking her.  This woman insisted from the beginning that she take her, and even took off several days of work this week in order to do so.  It's so very generous of her.  She is a single woman who never married and has no kids, and she and Mom have been friends since high school.  There also has to be someone trained in a medical procedure and since I tend to faint over such things, I was immediately grateful that my distance made me less than an ideal candidate.  My mom's best friend since the 3rd grade has volunteered to be that person.  I sincerely hope that I can someday be the friend to someone that these ladies, and many others, have been to my mom.  In the meantime, I am sending up many prayers for safe travels (I'm glad it should be much easier to travel by this afternoon) and of course, sending up many prayers that the procedure is successful.  We've been told that if this doesn't work, we are out of options.  Here's to hoping all turns out well!
