Surgery A Success!

Well, we got home around 4:30 this afternoon and he did very well! We will have to go back on the 12th of May for them to perform it again. They could not biopsy anything and they will put a bigger tube down his throat then. This doctor puts out those BIG words that I cannot understand so I called Kristina to interpret it for me. They could not put the bigger tube in so they stretched it as far as they could for right now. He had some of those really good drugs though. He didn't think they had done the surgery when I got back there to him. He is asleep on the couch right now, snoozing away! John hurt his knee last night and I had to carry him to the doctor early this morning and hopefully what Dr. Darnell did will work! He was the first doctor to discover T's high white blood cell count and sent us to Dr. Yeilding. I am going to fix some soup for him for dinner and see how he does then a vanilla milkshake! That ought to put a least a pound on him! Gil, at SCS, is doing a fund raiser for the Leukemia Society, so go to www.manoftheyearlls.com to donate in Terry's behalf or you can go the Service Construction Supply's website and it will tell you how to donate! We are suppose to go to a dinner next Thursday for this event and Terry is really looking forward to it! Gil has really put forth alot of effort for this cause! Last year's benefit raised over $22,000.00 so if you can help, please do! Wouldn't it be great if they could find a sure cure for leukemia! The LLS supports all of the families that are struck with this disease. They have a person at the BMT unit that is dedicated to nothing but helping people through this society. They offered all kinds of services to us and were a great help in showing us how to get the help we needed! We hope one day to be peers to others that are going through what we have been through and to minister to them. God has been our constant strength through it all and others need to know he is there for them too! I will update soon! Hugs to you all! Alyce
