Dad's doing well.

Just a quick update and some pictures.  Dad is doing good, he had his 2 week checkup this week, and all checked out ok.  He is a little discouraged with his energy level, but as the surgeon explained, he had Major surgery, even though Dad can only see 4 holes, it was still huge what they did inside.
If anything, pray for strength, and renewed stamina for Dad.
He has alot to do to get ready for my brother's wedding, in two weeks, and it is hard on him without his energy levels not being back to where he would like them.
Here are a few pictures from his surgery day.

All of us kids with Dad.

Mom and Dad.

Dad's best friend, Jim Reeves.

Thanks for praying,

Home!

Mike is home from the hospital. He had a pretty good evening. Ate supper and watched golf, baseball and Nascar on the tube. His remote hand was not affected by the surgery :).  He's had mild discomfort.  Took Tylenol this afternoon and just took his first pain pill at bedtime.  We are so thankful for all your prayers. Keep praying. We will have church on the hill here tomorrow.  

Mike will return to Dr. Thurman next week to remove a few staples.

Will keep you updated.

The nurse is headed to bed, also.

Thank you all for your wonderful support.

Love from us both,

Jan (and Mike)

Surgery Update

Dad made it through the surgery fine today.  The doctor was able to do it laparoscopically, which is a praise.  Dad was feeling pretty drugged tonight, so we are praying for a good rest, and quick recovery.  If all looks good tomorrow, they said he could go home.  They were able to get, what appeared to be, all of the cancer.
Thank you all for praying.  We are praising the Lord for good results.
In His grace,
JJ
