Ok, finally, we have a successful surgery of a grapefruit sized tumor, no cancer in the borders, no lymph nodes, and no sign that there will be any problems in the future with this. We are SO grateful to our Lord for this outcome. As I've listened to some of the other folks around, they have various cancers that need chemo or aren't treatable except with experimental drugs. We feel very blessed that his life has been preserved and that it looks like his health will return. People are talking about the miracle on the Hudson (which I believe is), but I feel like we have our own little miracle right here in Rochester, MN with no water involved. (I think Dan wants some water right now though, but they are working on that with some extra IV fluids tonight.)
The other thing that we are going to remember is the family that we have all over the place. We met some "new friends" at church who prayed with Dan after the evening service, showed real love and concern about us, and made us feel very at home. We've met another brother who is the Southern Baptist chaplain with the Mayo system today. Dan met someone who married a girl from Glennallen, AK, but I haven't met him yet. I'm dying to see who it was and if I know her, whether they know other people we know, etc. Hopefully he'll find us before we leave.
So, from a blessed couple who believes in miracles, we thank you for your prayers and love!
