This is great news!  I&amp;#39;m glad my sister&amp;#39;s daughter is doing well.  She has two more years to swim at state, right?  I hope she is able to recover quickly and that both the mental and physical pain subside quickly.  She sounds like a fighter, so I&amp;#39;m sure she&amp;#39;ll make it through just fine.

On the bright side you get to spend more time with her, which I&amp;#39;m sure you both love.

Happy Birthday, too!

I&amp;#39;ve been thinking about both of you and sending good vibes your way.  Hopefully you will both be back in the pool quickly!

I had to add that I&amp;#39;m so happy for your daughter. I hope she recovers quickly and is back in the pool soon.

Where did she have the surgery? I had a possible tumor removed at Northside (Atl.) abotu 6 years ago. They found it through ultra sound but couldn&amp;#39;t rule out cancer with all the additional testing. I&amp;#39;m happy to say I had a benign fibroid the size of a tennis ball removed 3 weeks later. Recovery was about 2 weeks and now I&amp;#39;m fine. My doctor, Dr. Peacock, was awesome!

She came home Sunday...my best birthday present EVER! Her nickname is Spunky and I think her personality and her strong will that inspired her nickname will help her bounce back ASAP! 
 
Thank-you for all your love and support! Y&amp;#39;all are the best group of people in the world and I can&amp;#39;t wait to meet some of you in person one day soon!
 
Love,
Beth
 
Yipee!!!  :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :smooch: :smooch: :smooch: 
 
I&amp;#39;m so glad.  I&amp;#39;m not surprised her nickname is Spunky.  She sounds like a fighter!  Maybe she&amp;#39;s an FAF Sista like her mommy, Miss Scaaaaalet.
 
And did I see a birthday mention?  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Having her home safe is the best present ever.  Also, I think that means you will be entering my age group, twin, and leaving behind that oh so competitive 40-44 bunch. (Of course the 45-49 group are no slouches either.) Welcome!  Now, we can do that 50 fly holding hands for sure!!!
 
What a relief.  I hope Kristy has the speediest recovery possible!

I am so happy that the surgery came out for the best.  I have been thinking and praying for you and your daughter.  I hope to visit sometime this spring or summer.  Perhaps I will visit my son the weekend of the UGA meet. I would love to meet your daughter...I will come practice at Swim Atlanta and Dynamo when in town.
Keep swimming hard and best of luck.
