Round 1

Round #1

Everything went well with the surgery. I am home with “Nurse Ron” taking care of me. I feel weak and spacey as a result of the medication that I had today. Dr. Davis felt that the surgery went well and now we are hoping that the pathologist can determine the source of the cancer.

Ron will take me to Dr. Davis’s office tomorrow to have the drain tube removed. Marie seems fascinated with the plastic tube that is coming out of my neck. She says that I should do a commercial to encourage people not to smoke! Ron was given some plastic gloves to use when he dumps the liquid from the small bulb that is connected to the tube. We continue to learn new medical procedures.

Last night our friends Judy and Kevin Hague came to visit with us. Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago. She recovered and was doing well until 2 years ago when she learned that she had bone cancer and was only given 1 year to live. Needless to say this family believes in miracles. Her insight into dealing with cancer was very comforting for Ron and me. She shared some great insight and information with us. Kevin also shared with us insights that he has had as the “supportive husband” during this trying time. Their positive attitude and spiritual strength is such an example to us. Ron and I are so grateful for their willingness to share with us their thoughts and lessons that they have learned. Again, we are truly blessed to have so many supportive friends and family doing all they can for us and the girls!

Thank you for your prayers and support…we continue to feel peace during this trying time.

I now look forward to getting the tube out of my neck tomorrow and a good night’s sleep tonight!

Love ya!
