    what a week
    Kathleen,

    I didn't read your post until today (Monday), so you and **** are probably en route to LA as I type. I just said a prayer for your whole family- for your daughter and Mom back in Hawaii, for you and **** to have a good week here and enjoyable stay in Laguna and, of course, for ****'s surgery on Thursday to go well. I hadn't realized the extent of your daughter's situation. You have a very full plate. So glad you were able to make arrangements for your daughter and that your mom is able to be there with her & that your mind is at peace about her and having to be gone from her.

    Blessings to you & let us know how it goes, of course.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    hi
    Hi Friends,
    You are all fabulous people. Really, you lift me up with your prayers and warm wishes. **** and I are enjoying our fabulous hotel. Somehow even drinking water from a nice glass in a nice hotel room feels like luxury. **** has his pre op appointment tomorrow and then back to the hotel. I hope he gets to surf Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. We both know that Thursday is a big day but we are enjoying our time together.
    On Thursday my aunt will join me at the hospital. She doesn't want me alone in the waiting room. I'll stay in the hospital with **** until we get him to my parent's house in Orange County. Then, I'll fly back to Hawaii and **** will stay in OC until he can fly back.
    Thank you for your prayers. Your prayers are very sustaining.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    LOTS OF ALOHA AND PRAYERS
    I wondered about **** a lot the past few months because I knew about that lousy node. I didn't know that they could just remove a node. Wonder why they don't just remove it instead of going through another round of chemo! I know he's going to recover really fast because home is always best, especially when it's here in Hawaii. Lots of love and prayers to you and family and I'm positive this will be the beginning of NED. Have faith.

    I'm praying the removal of this stubborn lymph node is a CURE for ****! I'm also praying for your daughter's health while y'all are away. I'm so glad you were able to work this out. Hope surf was up the last few days and that **** enjoyed every minute!

    hi
    Hi Friends,
    A quick update. **** had a very good pre op appointment at USC. Then back down to Laguna. **** and my cousin got out on their boards for about 1 1/2 hours of surfing in the late afternoon. It was so good to see him out there. I just sat on the beach and took it all in. Him surfing, loving it. The beauty as the sun got lower in the sky. I am trying to stay grateful. Grateful for generous friends, supportive family, good medical care. Knowing that **** will be in ICU in less than 48 hours is really trippy. He looks and feels so good right now so..... I am trying to just soak it all in and enjoy our time.
    Thanks for everything.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen
