A New Day

After a long weekend she is doing a little better today. She has been very nauseous and very achy since the surgery. As you can imagine, this is not fun after a major surgery. Things are going as they should though. We spoke with the doctor this morning and he had nothing but good things to say. He said we are in a curing mode now, not a survival mode! This is music to my ears! They did get the lab reports back on the lymph nodes tested during surgery. 36 out of 37 are cancer free. One tested positive, so some sort of chemo will be necessary. However, 36 out of 37 is a miracle! God is certainly with her!
She is still in critical care in the ICU. This surgery was intense, and it is going to be a long recovery. They will be giving her a few more units of blood today, and if she is able to sit up in a chair soon, they will move her to a regular room. We are hoping for Monday, but it could be Tuesday.
Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and support. She knows you are all praying for her and behind her 100%!
I will let you know as soon as she is up for visitors. Until then, please just keep on praying! Pray for wisdom for the next steps, pray for the nausea to subside, and pray for her strength. This is a battle! She is so strong, she hasn't complained one time! Not one time! Her faith is so inspiring! She just keeps on praising God!
I will keep you all posted!
