Sister Jan Ross (#9) has had surgery for a brain tumor on Friday, May 23, 2008. The doctors found that the tumor was not attached to the brain, and it was malignant, but they feel that they got it all.
Karen Robertson reported that she talked to Jan about 2:45 p.m. (Saturday).  "She had hoped to talk to someone in her room, but was pleasantly surprised it was Jan!! She sounded really good - was still in ICU at UNM Hospital and they hoped to get her in a room this evening. She will probably be there several more days."
Jan Ross said someone will take care of her grandson, Quin (Cindy’s son) (her son Daryl has him and he has lots of family and friends who care for him - his last day of school was Thursday)  They told her not to worry at all. She just said, "I have two kids here and two in heaven, so I'll be OK."
