Hey all,
It's been 3 days since the surgery and Mary is doing very well. She seems to be healing rapidly with very little pain...at least that she will admit...you know Mary. We have a follow up appointment with Dr Morrell, the surgeon, today at 2:00 pm. He will remove the chest tubes, which have been a real pain as you can imagine. Hopefully he will have the pathology report back from the lymph nodes and chest muscle he removed during surgery...cross your fingers and pray for good news. Of course, it may not be completed yet...just hoping! I will post an update as soon as we're done meeting with him.
So...the first step in this battle is just about complete. We still have a big battle ahead of us...chemotherapy next, which will start in about 4 weeks and last for about 6 months. I believe this is when she will need the most support. Please keep your positive thoughts and prayers coming...
We appreciate and love you all,
Dave, Mary & Erin

So glad, Dave and Mary. I've been thinking of her and checking your blog daily to find out she is. I don't want to come over and bother her. Let us know when she's up for visitors. I'll be by tomorrow eve with dinner for your family.
