The recovery begins

Today I'm thankful for the following...
Lulu looking better one day after surgery
Having a great network of friends
Lovely weather in San Francisco
My great health

One day after surgery Lulu has regained her color and looks better then yesterday. Lulu has been getting nauseous from the time she came out of surgery, so she had requested anti-nauseous medications to keep her from getting sick. However, these medications have really sedated her deeply. She has been either asleep or vomiting since last night. She's been so sleepy that once when she was awake and she was trying to eat some dinner, right as I was talking to her and she was eating she feel asleep with the fork halfway to her mouth. I would have to stimulate her with a nudge in the arm to wake her. Doris and I have been alternating being with her in the hospital during the second day post surgery. One positive is I'm getting to spend lots of father/daughter time with Lourdes. Earlier in the day my sister left to return home, and I know that Doris and I can handle caring for Lulu and take care of the little princess.

I'm not sure that I've mentioned that all of us are getting to stay at a wonderful 3 bedroom/2 bathroom flat in the Cow Hollow section of San Francisco. Donated to us by a caring, very generous family. This has lessened the stress of where to stay and how much it will cost us. Just one less thing that we need to worry about. Let me tell you the accommodations are splendid, and I couldn't think of a better place that we could have stayed? The family normally rents out the space on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, but allowed us to stay for free as long as it took for Lulu to recover from her surgery. This is just one example of how people (even one's that we've never met) are helping Lulu and I get though this breast cancer ordeal.

My hope would be that if anyone needs a place to stay in San Francisco they stay here, and that we would all support the Tate family. Please, help me thank them for their generosity and look into staying here when your in San Francisco.

Tonight is going to be a special night for me. Lulu is getting stronger, will soon be able to go home, and I get to share the night with my little cutie girl Lourdes. Lourdes and I haven't gotten quality time this last week to share each other's company, so I'm going to make the best of our alone time together. I'm sure that I couldn't feel any better then I do tonight? Things are showing improvement hourly, and I just know that the future for all our family is going to be extremely bright!
