Well we are finally home again and it feels good to be out of the hospital. Karen will be living on our lazy boy for the next few weeks since she can't lay flat or on her side.
Doctor says no lifting, reaching, or other movements that involve the pec muscles.
I'm not good at adding emotion so I'll stick to the details and let Karen modify this when she's able.
Thanks again so much to everyone who has called, come by, said prayers, and offered all the other support that really helps us through this day-to-day.

Here is Karen getting home and the great welcome decorations Alexis and Lindsey made:



This is a collection of all the beautiful flowers that many people brought:


Karen's home for the next few weeks:

My friend... how do you do it? After such a major surgery you still look completely beautiful!! Here's a marketing idea.... We can make a Barbie doll that has breast cancer. (we'll split the profits of course!)
Oh, your house is beautiful, too. I'm so glad Clay is taking pictures for you and putting them on your blog. Your girls look so helpful!
I love you and am delighted to see you home and healing.

Glad to hear everything went so well. As a mom it's hard to be the sick one,but remember it's ok to let people take care of you. You do such a great job taking care of your family I know they will have no problem taking car of you for a while! Get lots of rest & let me know if you need anything.

Always in my prayers,
Amie Howard

I have to say you look quite fetching lying there under that beautiful purple blankie! I am so thrilled with the good news and knowledge the tumor is out. You are such a brave lady--an inspiration to all of us!
Know that you are loved by so many--
