OT - Tough News To Report

[Shenexon]

Praying that things go well today and it's the first step on the road to beating this.

I hate it when my state of mind can be compared to an old bad movie...I make a poor metaphor...

 

[Geode]

Stay positive, she'll beat this! Sounds like your daughter is a fighter.

 

[Shenexon]

Well, she's through the surgery and recovery...heading for a room soon...

Hang in there Don. I am looking forward to buying you and your daughter a beer at a Fine Lot tailgate (or a TM road tailgate) very soon.

We will laugh about this post I am responding to and be more grateful than ever for the day and the company.

Shenexon - how is Rachel doing today?

Shenexon - how is Rachel doing today?

She's walking around and eating so she seems good for a day removed from surgery. She'll be going home this week but will have to get staples removed in a week or so. I don't really know how it went, but step one is done and I'll hear about step two soon...

PS: My older daughter is returning tonite from being with her until the surgery. I'm headed to Virginia tomorrow to help with her first couple of weeks home...

Sounds like a good start. Hoping for the best!

Stay strong. We got this.

It sounds like she’s had many successes in her life. I have no doubt that this will be another. All of our thoughts and best wishes to you.

Cancer.

She's anxious to go home and hoping tomorrow, but could be Friday...

The best to you, your daughter, and your family. We all know people who have beaten cancer. Progress has been made. Keep the faith.

Just now seeing this thread. Glad the surgery is over. Hoping for a smooth and full recovery for your daughter. Good thoughts going out to all of you. Stay strong.

She was released a couple hours ago and seems to be healing ok. So far, so good. I was going to head east today but postponed until tomorrow.

 

[CuseCactus]

Just seeing this thread - best of luck and speedy, full recovery!!!!!

 

[CuseFan]

All the best! So glad to hear that things are good so far!

One step at a time. First hurdle cleared, on to the next.

Thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery to you and Rachel. Not easy to deal with this but keep up the positive thinking and it will be over soon.

 

[Shenexon]

Well, I'm in Virginia now...1700 miles in 33 hours...she seems good but sore...really good to be here. Thanks to all of you for your kind words and thoughts...

Praying for good news soon on top of that. I know it's a hard thing to think about but make sure you get some sleep yourself too. Its a lot. We are all behind you guys. I'm sure JB would lend you his recruiting napping chair if needed.

I get to camp while I’m here and it’s been a rare thing for the past few years so am really looking forward to it. The Cicadas are incredibly loud, something I haven’t seen in Colorado. I brought earplugs in case they keep me awake...
