Out of surgery and resting

Kendall is now resting in the stepdown unit. The Dr was able to remove all of the nodules in her left lung. Fortunately there was no other disease detected during her surgery. She is in some pain but for what she has been through is doing great. She currently has a chest tube in place and we hope to have it removed within a day or two. I told her everyone is asking about her and she said to tell everyone thanks. We will be at Duke for a few days and then return home for her to recover. We are very thankful for Dr D’Amico and his team for helping Kendall remove this disease. Thanks to everyone who keeps praying for Kendall. This is round 1 on her way to being cancer free. Thanks and Go Team Kendall!

God Bless, JB
