TLB is gone! along with all the lymph nodes remotely close, and her ovaries, but the little bastard is gone! Surgery went smoothly, they were able to remove everything using the robot, they did have to go in to sew everything back together, but that is A-Okay. She has a 3 or 4 inch incision along her c-section scar and 5 or 6 little incisions from the robot. the total surgery lasted 8 and a half hours, and we wont get to see her for another 2, for now, we're all catching up on some much needed sleep. Thank you all for all of the thoughts, prayers, facebook posts, comments, texts, calls, and messages. They worked wonders. I'll let my mom give you all the little details i missed later. On to the final round!

Had KLOVE playing on the stereo this morning while I rode my exercise bike and worked in the kitchen. Seemed like every song they played made me think of you, Barb! Overcomer by Mandisa....Day One by Matthew West... YOU are an overcomer, and today is Day One of the rest of YOUR life (mine too, come to think of it!). Praying you have a fast recovery and get to come home again soon!
