Speechless

We are absolutely speechless.

The outpouring of love and support that has been shown to us over the past week is utterly amazing. We have the best group of friends and family in all the world and we just can't thank you all enough for praying for us, for dropping off unexpected bouquets of flowers to brighten our day, for offering to keep our lil' cutie patootie while we familiarize ourselves with dozens of waiting rooms and doctors offices, for setting up Carepages, for sneaking sweet notes of encouragement and support in our mailbox, and for showering us with love in every way possible.

We are so incredibly blessed in so many ways.
Chris' surgery went well on Friday. The surgeon hit a couple of bumps along the way (what started as a 45 minute procedure under local anesthesia turned into a 7 hour ordeal that involved putting Chris under) but she was able to remove a good sized lymph node to send to pathology and got the port placed nicely. Next up: PET scan Tuesday morning and follow up with oncologist Tuesday afternoon. Chris' inagural "juice" (aka "chemo") session will be scheduled after the results come back from pathology. We will also be meeting with a fertility specialist to work on making arrangements for Super Coop's future siblings (the "juice" wreacks havoc on your fertility)...yet another fun aspect of this wild and crazy ride.

We figured while we are in the business of scheduling things, we will also schedule a few days away at the beach. There's just something about seeing the ocean that reminds us that God is infinitely bigger than anything we may face in this life.

Chris is feeling good and as we say in the Davis house, "keepin his chin up". We got to sneak away last night for our sweet friend Kimberly's wedding and what a good time we had! Kim looked stunning and the wedding was absolutely perfect! We danced the night away, visited with great friends, and even treated ourselves to a full night of sleep at a nearby hotel (woo Staycations!) while Grammie and Poppy Tots kept the little guy. We came home to find Cooper and his Grammie wearing matching outfits. Hilarious. Thanks a million Mom and Bill for keeping him for us!

Again, we can't thank you enough for loving on us, praying for us, thinking about us, and supporting us.
