Becca out of surgery, in recovery room, doing well
The surgeon (Dr. Lee Wilke) just came by to talk to us. Becca is out of surgery and in the recovery room where she will stay for about an hour, and then be moved up to a room. The surgeon said that the surgery went very well, that she showed no sign of discomfort during the surgery. The lymph nodes checked in the sentinel lymph node biopsy were all negative (two on each side). We're looking forward to seeing her when she gets up to her room!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
Yippee!

All my best to you both. You may want to have a damp, cold cloth for her lips if they okay it. Not to suck (although that is nice) but to help refresh. Good also across the forehead and as a wipe for her face. Also, some good hand - foot cream as a simple massage sometimes also helps calm and caress. Just a few thoughts from my many surgeries.
May you both draw in all the love and support that has been an avalanche of positive energy! May it touch you deeply and bring healing. Gerri
