Rick Izumi gave me a beautiful crochet blanket, made by the women's ministry of Faith United Methodist Church. It really kept me warm and cozy in the hospital by covering me with a blanket of God's love! Thank you!

Glenn and Bob surprised our entire family with a Thai feast! There was so much food, we had both lunch and dinner! Dr. Chan thought you guys are great! He said I have a nice family, and I agree! It was a good thing this floor was equipped with a lounge/family room, made for people like us!

I'm going home with so many blessings!!! Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, I had a slight positive margin remainder above my left breast (a bit more cancer) and a small skin infection on my right. My team of doctors had agreed to perform an emergency surgery on Tuesday, December 23, 2008. The good news is that it was an out-patient procedure (about 2.5 hours surgery). After an hour or so in the recovery room, I was able to return home around 11:30 p.m., just in time for our Christmas celebrations. I was able to rest all day before going to visit my family today. Another good thing is that I won't have to cook at all. Sorry to the Chan and SooHoo families, but I'll have to make my Ngor Mai Fan for you another time.
God's blessings are endless. I appreciate all of the visits, calls, emails, cards, letters, and prayers! I've been showered with gifts of love, flowers, food, desserts, prayers, and well wishes. I am deeply touched by your love, and I truly appreciate all that you've done for me and my family! Thank you for the continuous prayers! I can never have too many of those! I can use all that I can get too! I know God hears them, and he truly has been answering them. Again, thanks to all of you!
In case I don't get a chance to update my blog again, I just want to wish everyone a wonderful, Merry Christmas. May God bless you and your loved ones with a prosperous, healthy, and Happy New Year in 2009!!! Holy hugs and kisses to you,... until next time!!! xoxoxoxoxo Berda SooHoo (and still KooKoo)
