Recovering...

This is Phil posting on Jen's Blog: I wanted to let everybody know that Jen's surgeries were successful and she is recovering at Tripler.  We hope to bring her home Saturday evening or Sunday (just in time for Mother's Day)!  I am in absolute awe at the courage and strength that Jen displayed today.  The surgeries took about 4.5 hours and the Doctors tell us that the margins on the chest and the arm are excellent. The preliminary report on the sentinel node biopsy is negative- it'll be a week or so before we know the official results along with the complete pathology of the breast carcinoma.  For the arm sarcoma, we'll have a great shark bite story at the ready... I'm not sure when she'll be able to blog again since the healing/recovering process will take some time. We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for their prayers/thoughts/positive energy.
