Update 4/10/2015 - POST-Surgery Update

All, well, another surgery is in the past. We went in early this morning anticipating to spend the night at the hospital…. And the surgery only took 90 minutes instead of 3 hours!  And there was no need to spend the night. We were back home by 1pm and then took a 7 hour nap! Definitely different than last year. And we certainly thank the LORD for that and for all of your praying. There is not much pain so far, 18 stitches, have a huge wrap around the surgical site (and my head) and one drain tube coming out of the top (gained a little horn…). 

Now to mend and heal. Sounds like there may be one or two more surgeries in our future but no details at this time. We will keep you posted… thanks again for all your encouraging thoughts and prayers!

Update 4/08/2015 - Surgery Update

All, it is now confirmed my “flap debulking” surgery is scheduled for this Friday (April 10^th) at 7:30am. From what I am told it should be about a 3 hour operation and a one night stay in the hospital. By referral of my flap surgeon, I met with a Facial Reconstruction surgeon this week (not sure why I would need him J ) that will help with some future surgeries with my nose and other features. 

It will be interesting to see how all this turns out when complete. But we are so thankful and blessed to have so many praying and supporting us through this journey that God has so graciously protected us through. We will give another update on the other side of the gourmet stay at UC Hospital.
