Mom, Dad and I took off to Birmingham this morning for a check up with Dr. Holmes. He removed the splint from dad's mouth today (dad is so grateful for that!). He will be really sore and a bit irritated in his mouth for a few weeks until it heals. We will go back in 8 weeks and he will have one more tooth removed that has some infection...TOTALLY unrelated to any of the cancer, just needs to come out before we move on with more permanent reconstruction. Until then, just healing and waiting. Pray and give God the glory for what he has done so far. We pray for continued healing, dad's ability to eat more and more, weight gain and for the cancer to stay away! The pathology report from the surgery two weeks ago came back over the weekend and it was all good news! We were scheduled to have a PET scan sometime this month (our 2nd one since the major surgery) but Dr. Holmes wants to postpone due to all the activity in his mouth right now with this last surgery and all the healing going on. He believes it would not be accurate at this time. I will let everyone know when that is.
It has been one year Friday since the diagnosis. We are so blessed with the outpouring of prayer and concern for Papa and our family. Thanks to all of you. We ask for your continued prayers as we move through this healing and reconstruction phase. God is so good all the time and we are so blessed.
