Update On Hope....

Well, yesterday was Hope's surgery on her leg to remove the cancer. She did great during the procedure....talked to the Dr. the whole time. After he called us back and left the room the nurse was telling me how to clean the wound and dress it and I noticed Hope looked a little pale...and in a matter of seconds she passed out. She woke up nauseated but after some cold rags and a coke to sip on she was better. Not sure exactly what happened. She's always been easy to pass out. They wheeled her out to the car to be on the safe side and I brought her home. The Dr. is sending the "wedge" to pathology and we should hear something tomorrow or Thursday. He said everything looked really good. She has about a 3" incision with one long continuous stitch...he said it would scar less. She can not have any physical activity for 2 weeks. She goes back in 9 days to have the suture removed.

She was going to try to make it on just the Extra Strength Tylenol but that just didn't cut it so late yesterday evening I went and filled the pain med he perscribed for her. She went to school today and the kids all helped her get around and carried her bags, etc. She was pretty worn out this afternoon and was needing another pain pill by the time she got home. Ben came by to see her this afternoon and that made everything better. lol! Ahhhhh, young love....ain't it grand! lol!

Thank you so much for your prayers and calls and concern. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends in our life.

Keep on praying!
