About 7:00 pm, Dr. Gore came into the waiting room to give us a post operation update. He was very pleased with the surgery stating that it was a close to perfect as it could have been. Very little blood was lost, the cavity of the previous surgery was left undisturbed, and the biggest presumed post op obstacle is pain. In an effort to keep Mom comfortable, the plan is to leave the epidural in place for the next 3 days leaving the pain abated. This will facilitate her continuing progress on returning to a "normal" diet (new normal that is).
The two surgeons have been incredible. Mentally, when I picture a surgeon that handles these types of procedures, I picture an older gentleman that has had their sense of humor removed. Much to my surprise, both have been young, upbeat, and very compassionate men that speak with confidence and humility. Though this long visit has had many valleys along the way, the care from the Doctors and Nurses has been a gift from God's hand.
Mom will be in ICU tonight, and Dad is trying to use his "Frequent Visitor" card to get Mom moved back to the 6th floor after recovery where she is doted on. We hope to be able to go in and say hello tonight, kiss her cheeks, and leave a few tears of joy on her pillow. All in all, it was the best outcome possible given the scenario.
Thank you to all of you who are watching, praying, and expecting the victory along with us. We pray God's blessing back upon you, for blessing us with yours.
Stay tuned.
Troy and family

Dear Deva& family:
We praise the Lord for bringing you through another tough ordeal.
Deva you are such a soldier. What
a brave soul. What time I am afraid I will trust in You Lord.
Somewhere there is a pattern forming. I am not sure how to
follow it but prayers are being
answered in specific details which shows us that God is hearing and
answering prayer. We would love
progress to move faster but for
some unknown reason God's timing
is diffirent from man's timing.
We must keep praying and continue
watching for signs of victory. Its
wonderful how well everything went considering the extent of operation on top of everything that has already transpired. We
love and respect all of you.
Keep us posted, we care. Love
Dino, Elaine and Soli

Hello Duckie,
Thank you girls for the wonderful news....."exhale"
See, you were right, prayers do work. You were in surgery for a long time. Linda, Jo and I were watching the clock & praying together. What else would we be doing...right?
Judy was wonderful to call Linda so that we all knew. With that amount of time, in surgery, whoda thunked the good news would come so quickly. GOD himself had to have been there guiding the surgeons. Thank you.
