Post Op. Update

Brooke's mom called a while ago and said they all got to see her. She seems very relieved that the surgery is over. However, she is in lot of pain. Our Brooke is tough with a very high tolerance of pain...so if she's hurting...it must be seriously hurting! Hopefully, when she gets in a room, they'll give her some additional pain medicine. It sounds like they are still letting her come completely out of recovery before they do anything additional than what's in her IV. Her mom said that she can't talk quite yet so wrote down several things--her doctors name with a smiley face, cancer's gone, and that she's ready to get out of there! Sounds like Brooke, doesn't it? Her mom also mentioned that the incision on her neck was very small...less than a couple inches. Considering all they did, I think that's amazing! The staff in the post op. room suggested Brooke try get some sleep so her family was letting her rest until they get her placed into a room.

I'll post back if I hear anymore today. By the way, the girls were doing fine and at home with Nick's dad and grandmother.
