Post Game Update

Hi Gang,
Dave here again. Thought this blog needs a little testosterone - so I'm sticking with the sports metaphor. Well, the game's over and Sarah's in the locker room. Sarah is awake, out of recovery and in her room. She's resting semi-comfortably, in a bit of pain but currently enjoying a brief high after recently being given a hit of pain killer in her IV a few minutes ago.

The reconstruction also went exactly according to plan - no problems with her prior radiated left side (which presented potential for complications). In fact, I peeked and she looks, well, like Sarah. Remarkable, given all that's happened today.

The team is exhausted, but victorious. Sarah 2, Cancer 0.

  1. Dave, Thanks for the update. Glad to hear part 2 was a success and that's she resting comfortably. You both deserve a good sleep after the long day. Love to all.

  3. Okay, tears here, Dave. Thanks for the updating - you have done a wonderful job and I am sure it was a very hard day for you, too. God bless drugs for Sarah (and you too, if needed!).

  6. Thank you for keeping us updated, Dave. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as recovery begins. I remember after my BMX I felt like a baby elephant was sitting on my chest. Hope Sarah's elephant is very small and her initial pain is lessened each day. XOXO

  7. Thanks again for the update, Dave. What a relief to know she came thru the surgery and the recon was able to go as planned. Now she can begin the healing process. Gentle hugs to Sarah...and more to you and Lilah...Jen (bco buddy in California)
