It's Over

I meant to post this as soon as Elizabeth was out of surgery. Blogging on the ipod touch in the family waiting area at Ocshner Hospital turned out to be more difficult then I expected. But anyway the operation was over by 1:30, and it was a major success. I spoke with the surgeon right after the operation, and he was very pleased with the outcome. Three sentinel lymph nodes were removed, and they were all cancer free. We will find out the pathology of the tissue removed when Elizabeth returns for a follow-up on the 23rd. We would be very surprised if there is any cancer cells present. All things considered this was as good as it could possibly get.

We got home about 4 this afternoon and Elizabeth is feeling pretty good. She's been up and around. We just had a very nice dinner her Mom made for us and now we are about to take it easy for the rest of the night. Thanks to everyone who called and wrote; we really appreciate your concern and your prayers.
