Mom had her reconstruction surgery yesterday & did great. She woke up much easier this time & was not in as much pain. She is hurting & on morphine, but MUCH better than last surgery.
The doctor took the expanders & the chemo port out & Mom is very very very happy about that!!
She may get to come home today, Saturday, but we have to wait on the doctor this morning.
I'll keep you posted. Thank you for your prayers. She is on the downhill side of all of this!!

New News
Ok..........so it's been a while & Mom is constantly asking me to update the blog. I have no idea if there are 25 or 250 of you reading, but I'll do this for you :)
There is no new news on me.....I have my second reconstruction surgery on October 20; Between volleyball & basketball seasons at our school. I coach volleyball & basketball so I'm trying to take as little time off as possible. I am doing better every single day & getting stronger & stronger. NOTHING to complain about. I am blessed!!!!!
Mom is having her second reconstruction surgey on September 18. She CAN NOT WAIT. She is SOOOOOOO ready to have her "tires" taken out & replaced with semi-normal breasts. She should only have a one night hospital stay & then be home to recuperate. Please keep her in your prayers. As "ordinary" as this may be for the doctor, this is definately not ordinary for Mom. She is anxious but very ready. Of course, EVERYTHING is happening the same weekend. It is not only homecoming with my children's school, but I have responsibilities with my coaching job that requires me to be somewhere the night of her surgery & early the morning after. This may keep me from being able to spend the night with her as I would like to do. She says she is fine alone, but that is NOT an option.
I have some pictures to post, but have to be at Mom's house to do it. My computer will not work for some reason, so I'll get those on asap.
She is recovering one day at a time, but is pretty miserable with some side affects of the chemo medications. She has horrible neuropothy in her hands & feet. By the time nightfall hits, her hands ache all the way to her elbows & makes it hard for her to use her hands. Please pray that this will go away soon. Several friends have told her they are still feeling the effects of chemo many many years after, but our God can do anything!!! :) Mom has said several times, that she would chance the cancer spreading in lieu of the side effects of chemo, but speaking for her family......we are thankful she has had & is done with the chemo. We are not willing to take any chances that the cancer had spread. She is strong & will look back on all of this as a blessing.
We are blessed every day with Mom & love her more than she can imagine. I'm so proud of her & thankful for every day that passes on the road to her FULL recovery!
Thank you for your prayers, constant support & love!!!!!!
