Hi Doves

Thank you all so much for you words of encouragement and prayers!  Laura made
it through about 7 hours of surgery on Saturday.  Both breasts were removed.
They  were able to use her own tissue for reconstruction.  She will remain in
the hospital for about another 5 days. At about the same time, they should
find out the results of the tests on her lymph nodes.

Sincerely,  Doug Blakemore
