Today, Mom had her post-op doctor appointment. We were anxiously awaiting to hear the pathology report. However, since there is bone, the doctor said it takes longer for them to process the bone for the lab results. We expect the report may be in by the end of the week. As for the doctor's comments, he said, "You look pretty darn good for what you went through one week ago!" So, he was very pleased with her recovery. He said he was pretty sure she would not have to have any chemo or radiation, and would like to see her in three weeks for a check-up.
We are praising the Lord for how she has recovered so well from the surgery! God has certainly answered our prayers so far. We are asking you continue to pray for her complete healing in her mouth. There is much healing that needs to be done yet. She probably has about 3 weeks of good healing time left for that wound to close up. Mom is taking minimal pain medication. Actually, she's just taking Tylenol now instead of the Vicodin.
This has certainly been a most special time for Keith and especially me. I have so enjoyed being a help to Mom and having her and Dad here while she recovers from her surgery. I do think it was a good idea for them to be here; it helped her get more rest when she didn't feel good. Even though her body is frail, she is such a strong woman; she just amazes me! They will be heading home tomorrow. There will certainly be a very quiet and empty house when they leave. :(
Please continue to pray for Dad's salvation. There were a few times when we would get our meal, such as at breakfast, Mom and I would be sitting down already having coffee and he'd bring his cereal to the table and hold out his hands to pray with us. He also did that with Keith one day when they were eating together. Little as it seems, the Lord could use this time in Dad's life as well as Mom's. Just keep him in your prayers. Never give up.
