Hey, Hey! It's me...."live" from room 350 at Rush Medical Center! Gotta love wireless internet and laptops! Today I am breathing a HUGE sigh of relief! Surgery is over and we have received a good preliminary report! We won't know for sure until the official biopsy comes back which they said will be 3-5 business days. But, the doctors were encouraging and said they didn't see any abnormalities. And, thankfully, they only had to take one string of the lymph nodes.
For the most part, things went pretty smoothly. Dave and I were both able to sleep a good 5-6 hours the night before surgery. I was a little nervous, understandably so, but as surgery got closer, I felt such peace and I KNOW it was the power of prayer! It was kind of funny because the staff "lost" me for a while, which actually delayed surgery a good hour. They had brought me down to the pre-op area and apparently I was put in the wrong stall so no one knew where I was. (I guess I still cause trouble, even when I'm trying to behave!) While I lay there all alone, again, I just felt so calm and at peace so thank you SO MUCH to all our prayer warriors!! After surgery I felt pretty groggy and slept on and off all day. I'm feeling much more alert today but still in some pain. I'll be going home sometime on Thursday.
So, prayers of thanksgiving that things went well and that things are looking good! Please pray for a good recovery and also for sleep! I've been having trouble sleeping the last couple of nights (gee...wonder why?) and it would be nice to get back to a regular sleep cycle.
I'll be sure to update once we get the official results. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and the care, love and concern you have shown our family!!
In His Strength,
Cindy and VK's

Dear Cindy, Gotta love it. Only you would be on the computer already giving us an update. I'm glad that things went so well and that you had peace and were able to get some sleep. I'll keep praying that the rest of the reports come out GREAT and that you (and Dave too) will be able to get the rest you need. Love Nelly
Cindy:
They LOST you!! Wow! Gotta love hospitals.
So thankful that so far everything looks good. Continuing to pray for sleep, great test results, and a quick and complete healing.
Love and a Big but careful hug,

Still thinking and praying for you and the family. Let me know if you need anything when you get home. Just a quick trip down the block and I'll bring cookies.
Love, Sheila
Hey Cindy: Gotta love technology - any only you would be adding to your blog rather than spending the time recovering or watching old "Scrubs" reruns. Glad to hear the surgery went well, and we continue to pray for awesome lab news and a quick recovery. Love, Deb
Posting this kinda late, Cindy, but I was praying and am SO thankful to hear that you felt the Lord's peace! And, from where I am in life right now, I TOTALLY can relate to not sleeping - it's pretty awful. Prayers continue!! XOXO - Julie
