Good Morning everyone & Happy Friday!

Thank you all for the love, prayers, and support yesterday. It means so much to us. 

If you saw Christopher’s post yesterday, Ev did great during surgery! We got about 95% of the cancer out which was our goal. Only two small spots remain. The rest of our treatment should take care of those 🤞🏼 Overall, We are very pleased! 

Ev looks great, is in a good mood when she is awake, and her incision is “beautiful” (surgeons words— but honestly, out of the incisions I have seen in my life it really does look nice and should heal very well)

She is aware she has a “big booboo” (like an 8 inch booboo) and doesn’t like anyone looking at it. At all. 

Of course she is in a good amount of pain but we are managing it very well with scheduled Tylenol and Toradol, then Dilaudid as needed(which right now has been about every 3 hours) 

Last night, we had to switch her to Dilaudid due to a mild reaction Morphine caused. 

We have been so blessed to not need any narcotic pain medication throughout her treatment, so this is new territory for us trying to figure out what works best for her. The Dilaudid is working very well and she is on the lowest dose. 

She had a great night. Slept the whole night through. I woke up around 6:30am to her wide awake quietly watching Blaze and the Monster Machines on Nick Jr. She gave me some side eye and a little finger wave. Since day one I’ve always said that when the sass and attitude go then I will worry. The side eye was all I needed to know she’s okay, but not having it. 

Later today we will be removing two of the five lines she currently has and attempting to clean her up a bit. Should be fun. 

All we really need is for this girl to let out a good toot 💨😆 

That way we know things are moving and she can eat/drink again. 

Didn’t think I’d ever find myself praying for a fart — but here we are. 

They have her on fluids but she hasn’t had anything to eat or drink by mouth since Wednesday night. 

Keep they prayers, good thoughts, and positive vibes coming. She’s not out of the woods just yet, but another big hurdle has been tackled. 

Again, thank you all for the love and support. It truly means the world to us.
