Becca was able to meet with the surgeon today. They took out the stitches, took out the drain and the mid line in her arm. He stated that it looks great and it very happy that there doesn’t appear to be any infection. She can now sit or lay on her back, as long as she can support the pain. She can’t swim for about 4 weeks, and has to keep the drain hole covered while she showers. Becca needs to visit again in three months for her scans. What a great day!

So where does that leave us? Well, she has an oncologist follow up appointment in a couple of weeks and she needs to get her mobility back. But we honestly feel that she could be home before her birthday (June 16th)! She still is numb from the neck down (remember that the cancer was in her sacrum, but her body attacked the spinal cord in her neck causing swelling and numbing). They say with time that will continue to get better. However, she can walk and has control of her bowels.

I know our prayers have been answered! We will soon be coming home and begin our new life. Please keep praying that she continues to heal and comes home soon…. 😀
