Vicki had her surgery today. She was in excellent spirits, and ready to get this over with. After two hours of surgery, the first procedure was done (mastectomy). The surgeon said the procedure went very well. They ended up removing four lymph nodes, all of which tested negative for the presence of cancerous cells. This was great news and we were all relieved. The second procedure (reconstruction) also ended up being a success, and couldn't have gone any better.
After a total of four hours of surgery, and a couple hours of recovery, we were able to visit her. She was very uncomfortable and in a lot of pain, but still maintained her sense of humor. We knew she was just fine when the nurse came in and asked, "what kind of pain medication do you want?" Vicki replied, "what kind of wine do you have?"
Vicki sends her love, and wants to let everyone know that she has her pink singing pig in her room. She hopes you all have a wonderful last couple of days before break starts.
We all thank you for your kind words, and wish you all well!
Love,
Chuck, Jackie, and Tyler
