Hi everyone! It's been awhile but I think things are starting to settle down a bit. Bobby had his surgery on April 4th. Everything went well, and while the surgeon removed "suspicious" lymph nodes, there was no obvious spread. He developed an infection about a week later which meant a trip to emerg and a minor procedure the next day. He was able to come home with daily home care visits, which will probably continue for another 2-3 weeks.
As I'm writing this, we still don't have the pathology report on the lymph nodes but we should have it any day now. We finally got the report back! Only 3 of 35 lymph nodes were affected! He'll still need chemo but this is such good news!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers, comments and emails ... you have no idea how much they mean to us. Bobby has done amazingly well! We're actually beginning to feel like we're getting back on solid ground again.
We celebrated our Easter a week early because Bobby would be in the hospital on Easter Sunday. My parents bought me a gorgeous blue hydrangea, which I've been photographing. Yes, I've finally picked up my camera again! It's been a long time and it feels so good to be back taking photos.
I can't wait for my hydrangeas to start blooming in my garden! We've had such a strange spring ... unseasonably warm one day then freezing cold the next. My crocus, which usually bloom prolifically, only had one or two flowers and I think only one daffodil and one tulip actually bloomed. Lots of leaves, just no flowers. Oh well, it won't be long until I have lilacs!
The idea for the flower petal heart was completely inspired by my friend,
Georgianna ... but I couldn't resist! :)
