This was our view as we left this morning from the hotel.

Surgery was originally scheduled for 0730 but we received a call that it was slid 2 hours till 0930
this meant 2 extra hours of sleep, NOT!!!

We were awake as normal and headed over to the hospital about 30 minutes early.   Got right up to the surgical wait area and back to the prep room by 0720.   Prepped and all.  Headed to surgery on time.   We were very blessed to have these 4 folks along with Dan and LaTrelle E come and set with me for the duration. 

Guy in the middle is not one of us but the other 4 you should some of you know.

RESULTS   Surgery went great was over in 2 and a little bit hours.  The surgeon said he is pretty sure he got all of what was there, unfortunately he thinks it is more tumor related than anything else. We'll know more when the pathology reports are returned.  We should stay 3 days and know some more when we leave.  No more radiation though as they are not able to do that again so soon and in the same area.  Chemo treatments or whatever, we'll know then. 

Thanks for ALL YOUR PRAYERS!!!!!!   You'll never know what they mean to all of us.  Peaceful waters in the storms and calm skies.  

Dave and Judy and the rest of the family.
