A quick update on Laura's progress: Joshua spent the night with Laura in the hospital and reported that they had a sleepless night mostly because of Laura's nausea, so this factor has slowed her recovery. Through great effort she finally kept down a small bit of food and some of her bodily functions are returning -yea! Her pretty blue eyes are much more alert and she is sharing her sweet nature with the hospital staff.
When both surgeons visited Laura today, they were confident that the procedures were successful and that a positive pathology report is expected (by Thursday or Friday). We continue to pray that the report will confirm that there are NO live cancer cells !
The winter storm that rolled into Denver last night ended up much less severe than was forecast, so we have been able to get to the hospital easily. However, Laura & Joshua lost electricity late this afternoon so it is probably a good thing that Laura isn't quite ready to go home. But she has eaten again, and is off the morphine, so things are looking up ! Tomorrow Laura will probably get to go home !

That is such great news about the outlook from the doctors & pathology reports! And being home again soon. You'll get there Laura! You're amazing to us all!!! Keep on keepin' on!! You go girl!
Laura, so glad to hear the surgery went well, and sorry to hear about the nausea. The pain from the surgery was bad enough without adding that in! Hopefully being off the morphine will solve that problem. So glad to hear you're close to going home. Sending positive thoughts/prayers for a speedy recovery and complete cancer cell death!
Thanks for the update..Laura you hang in there,We know you will...
You are in our prayers..Stay strong....Heidi T.
Looking forward to hearing about the pathology report, Laura! Seeing your wonderful progress in black and white will make all this suckiness worthwhile.
Laura, you're a tough lady surrounded by so many who love you. Following your story. Keep inspiring! -Jo
