Chris Shepherd

Friday morning and I got to
at 5 am for Double Mastectomy, moving a muscle from her back, attaching it to her chest and then reconstructive surgery. She went through pre op and then right into surgery right at 7. She was in Surgery for 12 hrs when I got the message that she was in recovery, doing fantastic and I could see her shortly. The emotional roller coaster of a day was almost over. It was almost time and of course when I walked in to see her, as always she was smiling ear to ear. What we had been told is that she would stay in the hospital from 2-5 days so we were prepared. The next morning LB called me and said that the team had been by to check on her and decided that she was good enough to go home and recover. I literally couldn’t believe it!! We are now at home with to start the healing process. Thank you to the Medical team that took care of Lindsey and everyone that walks through those doors, you are so amazing at what you are do. I will actually add that to all the Medical Professionals out there everywhere making people feel better and changing their lives.

Thank you to all the messages, prayers and well wishes, they filled our hearts. Now on to recovery!!!

It’s amazing to see so much joy all on the face of as she continues to kick Cancer’s backside!!! She is such a rockstar and I’m so in awe of her. Today she was able to ring the bell as she finished her 15 rounds of Radiation over the past 3 weeks.
Again, a huge thank you to the team for all of your help and energy for not just taking care of Lindsey but taking care of everyone that is going through their journey. I have had the opportunity to sit and watch how you work with each person with kindness, respect and love. I will say that if you are going through this journey, no matter where you are on this journey take joy in these moments. I know it’s hard, take these moments for you and your family to smile. We are all proud of you!
