So far so good!

Hello all,

Kathy and I are catching up on our day time tv and some light reading. The surgery as some of you may have heard went very well! In typical Kathy fashion, she was up and around that night for a short walk. She looked great the next morning. The biggest challenge for the next week will be slowing her down. We have been overwhelmed with incredible meals, help with transporting the boys, and cleaning to name a few things. We have read many supportive emails, taken countless calls and have heard from so many people wishing us well as she approached her treatments. The first step is behind us. We have a follow up appointment tomorrow and always hope for the best. The Exeter surgical cancer team has been nothing short of awesome.
We have felt in such good hands from the two surgeons on Kathy's case to the people at the information booths.

You hear so often how challenges such as this bring out the best(and sometimes the worst) in people. We have been treated to such wonderful help and emotional support it certainly makes the journey easier.

I have now posted something on a blog. Won't my boys be proud. I thank you all for the positive 'vibes' so far. It definitely helps. I am certain it has started Kathy along her speedy recovery.

Thanks again to so many of you,
Paul

Never mind the boys. Your sister-in-law is tickled pink (a very appropriate color considering the blog design) that you've mastered the blog post! Yay Paul!

Its so nice to read the good wishes from people. You are both amazing people. Both of your attitudes are an inspiration.

Hey Kathy!
Wonderful news again! Sounds like you are being well pampered by the boys. You deserve every minute of it, soak it in and enjoy. I would be happy to join Sara in her pilates lesson too. Thanks for the update as it was good to
'see' your voice in the blog.
Take care, Love Jennifer Rief
