It is great to be home and have our family around us! Marykate's surgery was April 8th - a Wednesday. She was released from the hospital a week later, on Wednesday the 15th and we flew home on Thursday the 16th. She was feeling good enough to go to the Viennese Ball (a formal - ballroom type dance) on Saturday the 18th!!! We had purchased tickets to this event back in February and did not expect to be back to use them! Ashley, Jessica, Marykate, Jonathon, Mark and I all attended. We had a really fun time, although Marykate slept until 2:30pm the next day. Things have been going quite well, except for phantom pains that have become more troublesome. We are still waiting for final pathology on the tumor, but are expecting to start with chemotherapy again - possibly next week. She will start therapy tomorrow and we have started looking into a prosthetic.
Thank you for all your prayers, comments and posts. They have encouraged us and we've looked forward to reading them.
Marykate - I was just thinking of you this morning! I'm praying for you and your family, and will continue to do so as you may be continuing chemo. Keep fighting the good fight with such grace and beauty!
