Successful Surgery !!!

Praise the Lord !!

The surgery was a complete success. Almost 7 hours. Four of us are waiting now to see Brock in the ICU. The doctor said he will be fully awake and no tube in his throat. Brock was concerned about that.

The doctor said the margins all around the tumor were all negative, so he feels confident they removed all cancer. He said the tumor was contained and there were no visible signs that it spread.

I hope I am the one to tell Brock, although I'm sure he is pestering the nurses for information as we speak.

The doctor said that we have all been worried, sitting on the edge of our seats all day, but now is the time to worry. That the next 7 days are critical. He said, "In the OR, I'm in control and now it's out of my hands."

Some possible complications could be pneumonia, heart attack, or stroke caused by blood clots. So please continue to keep Brock in your prayers.

It is all of you that brought us to this point. OK, yes, we are all breathing normally now.

More later.
Love to all!

Most of all...
Our God is an AWESOME God!
