Post Surgery Update

Yesterday Rebecca had her double mastectomy surgery.  She started surgery prep at 12:45 and was delivered into her recovery room at 6:00pm.  She was able to rest most of the night but did struggle with nausea.  She did discover that she loves Dilaudid (pain med), it worked very well for her.  :)  She met with Dr. Droesch this morning and he only had good things to say about the surgery and her recent 12 hours of recovery.  Several Lymph nodes were removed during surgery to be reviewed by a couple of pathologists and those results will be available early next week.  She is in good spirits and is doing very well.  The plan is for her to go home tomorrow morning.  I'm impressed at how strong and of course beautiful she is as she goes through these challenges.  It is incredible to see all the little miracles occuring all the time.  She has the most amazing doctor and the nurse she had last night was heaven sent, because of the wonderful care she gave my wife (she too had the same surgery 18 months ago and so could relate to my wifes discomforts).  We have felt your prayers and I know our Father in Heaven has heard them as well because of all the wonderful things that have happened in the past 24 hours. Thank you and I will be sure to send one more update in the next day or two.
