Wow, deep cut with the Owl Babies reference. The children’s librarian in me is very impressed. Also, count me among the Grin-Again Gang.

Love all of the good news! Take care of yourself as you mend, Laura - this recovery takes awhile, but is so, so much easier after getting a good pathology report! Continued prayers!
