We are home from the hospital. Chantaye was in surgery and recovery for about an hour this morning, luckily they managed to squeeze her in first, she should have stayed in recovery for another 30 minute or so but she was begging for mommy and they couldn't sneak me in so they just brought her on out to me. It was the hardest hour of my life! I sobbed the whole time she was gone, poor Greg didn't know what to do with me at all, but taking care of me kept him from breaking down too.
The surgery went ok, the incision is quite a bit bigger than I thought it would be, and bigger than Dr. O had told me to expect. She hadn't been in her room 10 minutes until she had to have pain meds. I am trying to keep her on plain tylenol or motrin as much as possible here at home, the prescription was for Tylenol 3 with codeine and after they gave her the codeine she could barely stand up, but I've got it here if she needs it. She is laying over here watching tv now, she wasn't real fond of me moving away from her to make a quick post but I told her I had to get on here to let everyone know we made it home.

Andrea, thank you for the bear hon! I will get it added here soon! I tried to download it here on this computer but it is coming up as bitmap on this one, so I need to be on the laptop for that. Oh, btw...if you didn't get my email from last week let me know so I can resend it ok?

God Bless you all and thank you for all your continuing prayers and support! Please keep those prayer chains going ladies, we won't know the results of the biopsy for a week or longer.

Aww Aretha! I didn't know Chantaye already had her surgery, I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Lotsa hugs!

Hi Aretha, I am glad Chantaye made it thru the surgery and is home now. I am praying continually for her. This time will be hard for you, waiting on results, but stay close to the Lord and He will carry you all thru this.
