Bye Bye Boobies

Surgery day! We had to check into Kadlec Hospital at 7am.  Jenna Essary came over Sunday night and spent the night with the kids so she could get them off to school in the morning. Kendra really did not want to go to school. She wanted to come to the hospital with us but we felt like the best thing for her would be to go to school, continue on with normal life and hopefully be distracted!
The ride to the hospital was amazingly calm and peaceful. It almost felt good to know we were going to get started and do something about this cancer!
It was about 9 before they called me back into pre-op, they got me all hooked up to the multiple tubes and wires and then brought Bob back there to say goodbye before they wheeled me off. When he returned to the waiting room, Jack Maljaars, Jim Early and Ryan Schilperoort were all there waiting for him:) It was awesome that they were there to distract him and keep him from destroying stuff in the waiting room while he waited the 4 hours that it took for me to be done!

Just a little update on my mom for all her friends and family. She is out of surgery and the surgeon said the surgery went well... they did find some tumor in the lymph nodes so they took some out to do more testing. She will need chemotherapy, however we are not sure how much or when that will start as of right now. Thank you all for the continued support and prayers!

That night Jenna brought the kids up to see me. Ashley was still at school, it was finals week for her so she wouldn't be able to come home until Thursday night.

While they were there the kids (Brandi) decided that the med board in my room was a little too drab and empty for her taste...
