In Surgery

Well we are in New Orleans for surgery. The surgical center is great, the staff friendly and amazingly generous with their time and words of encouragement.

Melissa is actually in surgery as I type this. The surgical staff has been calling me on and off all day as they move from step to step. I have been keeping busy by wandering around New Orleans, eating their delicious but fattening food, and trying just to keep good thoughts for Melissa's good health and speedy recovery.

The best news is that her lab tests for her biopsied lymph nodes came back NEGATIVE... which means that Melissa is now CANCER FREE!!!!!!! Good times!

Last I heard, she was in the actual reconstruction phase of her surgery, the blood supply all hooked up to the transplanted tissue. In a couple of hours she will be in recovery and I will be able to go down and see her.

Wow!
