Home from the Hospital

It has been a long day! Lou Ann got discharged by her plastic surgeon at 6:30AM, but waited until 3:30PM for her final discharge from her surgeon. Her preliminary pathology report came back with 3 out of 53 lymph nodes involved. That was great news! We were initially told that if it came back with less that 4 nodes involved, she would most likely not need any radiation. We pray the will continue to be the plan. We still do not know anything about chemo. The likely hood of chemo is high. The pathology is supposed to be sent off for further testing to see what the cancer feeds on. This will give us a better idea with chemo. The surgeon said that she does fall in the stage 2 of cancer.
At home Lou Ann is resting and trying to regain her strength. As most of you know, Lou Ann never slows down. It is very important that she takes things slowly and let herself heal. I think she understands this and is going to take the doctors advice. She was very happy that she got to eat dinner with the family. The kids are very excited to have mom home. Bodie is staying busy with his games and Brenna is staying by mom's side being a little nurse to all her mom's needs. It has been a blessing to have aunt "T" here to help with Lou Ann at the hospital at night. She has also got to share her days with the kids. We have had a great outpouring of love from everyone and we can't thank each of you enough. I am not going to mention names because I don't want to leave anyone out.
Our lives are going to change for the better and I know God has a plan for our family. We are trusting in him and thank him for our blessings. Keep praying that all will continue to go good for Lou Ann.
