Friday August 15th I went in for an appointment with my surgeon. I had gotten myself stressed that my breast were not healing right, so they worked me in for an appointment. Having never done this before sometimes you just need someone to say "Hey, things are going great. No worries." So that is what I got. He is very pleased with my healing and progress. I still have the same physical limitations set by the Dr, but feel better and stronger every day.
Thank you for all your help, support and continued prayers.

Post Op Check Up # 1
I had my post op appointment today. The physician's assistant said that everything looked wonderful and was healing well. She removed my three drains. I can drive, walk or ride a stationary bike but to be mindful that my body is working hard to recover. I can continue on no lifting and nothing strenuous.
I feel great! I get tired easier than normal and am stretching out my tummy. All things considered I feel very blessed. Thank you for your continued love and support and prayers.
love and prayers,
Laura

Post Surgery Update # 2
Hello All
Today is Thursday July 31st. I was discharged from the hospital on Monday the 28th.I do have to say that I am not very good at asking for help and not helping out- you know just sitting still. This last year has been a great lesson in asking for help and sitting for me.
David, David Alexander, and William have been staying with David's parents since the 23rd. I came home from the hospital to Memaw and Popo's too. They have been wonderful! We are so blessed. The boys have had so much fun with their grandparents and cousins down the street.
We are going home on Saturday. My sister is coming to help out at the house. We need to get back to our beds and routine. It will be fun to have the sisters and the cousins back together again.
The surgery was very hard. I was surprised. Sounds crazy- but that I would be surprised. All of my other surgeries have been at the longest 2 hours and it took a day or two to feel close to 100%. I knew it would take longer amount of time to heal but I didn't realize how much more intense the pain would be. Today has been one week(at 11pm). Each day is better. I feel little stronger . The pain is less and less, too. All things considered I don't think that I could be doing any better. Every new day is a blessing, a gift, and I do cherish them.
Thank you for you continued prayers, kind words, and well wishes. They are greatly appreciated. I am so grateful to have so many wonderful and loving people caring about me.
love and prayers

Post-surgery Update #1
Laura has been sleeping a little more during the last 24 hours and despite some pretty intense pain, she is doing very well. She got positive reports from her entire medical team this morning. She'll probably be in the ICU a few more days. She still can't take phone calls, but she is checking her email. Keep those encouraging notes coming.
