Surgery Done!!!

I know you have been all anticipating this message all day...i cannot find the Internet at the hospital though so is a little late. The surgery went well....it took an hour or so longer than expected. Dr. Moore debated a lot about taking the whole lung and decided on just taking the lower lobe. Thank heavens. So any how, the surgery was a success and he is recovering nicely. They had to take a rib which is common in this surgery, plus slimmer waist line!!!! BONUS! We are going to hold off on visitors until he is in a regular room, not ICU. Even then it will be limited. We will love to have open doors at our home when he comes home. I will post more info about visiting hours and availability as it comes up. Thank you for all the prayers, love and support...you all mean so much to us. Thank you and love to you all.

    YAHOO, so glad for you both that surgery is over and hospital front door is close! :)....Kristin and I did an extra tough work out this morning in your honor while you were under the knife. We are anxious to visit ONLY when you are feeling like company. Until then, we are thinking of you and wishing the very best.
