Linda, sending good thoughts your way for a better day today. You are not alone, we are right by your side. Praying Carol is kept pain free. One day at a time. There is hope that the path report comes back with good news.

The operation she went thru was a very difficult one. I had the mandibulectomy almost a year ago. It was a 10 hr surgery and I was kept under for 3 wks. Im glad I slept thru it. I know how difficult it was for my son who came to see me every day. He suffered more than I did. I understand how hard this is for you. Never forget that there is always hope and Carol has the whole world pulling for her.

Dont forget you need rest too. Please remember to take care of yourself. Best wishes with everything smile
