Today was the day of the surgery.  Everything went well.  Audree is an amazing woman.  She is as tough as they come.  We arrived at the hospital at 8 am this morning to get everything started, and the actual surgery took 2 hours.  We are very blessed for the outcome, and for the doctors who did a great job.  The lord has been in this every step of the way.  The surgeon told me that the sentinel nodes were cancer free, and by the end of the week we will know if everything around the breast is cancer free.  We will also find out for sure if there is no need for radiation.  We are hoping that radiation is not necessary.  We also find out the steps we have to take from here until she is cancer free.  I want to thank everyone for their prayers.  Today has been an emotional day and we are glad that it is done, Audree has done great, and is in a lot of pain but in great spirits.  She knows that she needs to sleep a lot and I will need prayers to get Audree to be selfish over the next few days and take care of her self.  She loves to serve and give all of her time to others, but now it is time for her to receive and gain all the strength that she can.  From here on out we will update this page almost daily as now our journey begins to have Audree become cancer free.  One step at a time.
