Mom is almost back to her usual self already. She is babying her right arm a little bit as it hurts to lift it, but thats about it. She is already weaning herself by taking her percocet pain meds every 6 hours vs every 4. The most difficult part of today has been trying to keep her low key! She is up and about not exactly taking it easy. Are you surprised?! Of course not! She always has something to get done! Mom still has her bandage on from surgery so we are not exactly sure what the incisions look like. She has 2, 1 longitudinally in her outer armpit where the nodes were removed and 1 laterally across the top outside of her boob where the lumpectomy was done. Thanks again for every ones phone calls today to check in. Shes been on the phone about 3 hours already! Thanks to the NBICU for the beautiful flower basket that was sent. We also received amazing flowers from Jess, Christy, Emily, Gigi, Jamie, Kelsey, Katy and the McClures. Our house smells so good! And thanks to Aunt Donna as well, who had the prayer shawls sent for Mom and Dad from Immanuel Lutheran Church, they are beautiful. Thanks for checking in everyone and we will keep updating you.
Love lots,
The Peterson Fam

Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic news - thank you Lord for answering our prayers! Rest up, and as soon as you are up to it, we'll have to have an "empty nesters" night out and celebrate.
Love, Janet
