My Christmas wish was granted. Dad made it through surgery like a champ. For an almost 80 year old he is doing MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!! It was a long day on Thursday when he went in. Me, Curt and Mom were there through the morning, and I must say I was quite anxious as were the other 2 waiting room attendees. Karin came about 2 or 3 that afternoon. Grandpa indured 7 1/2 hours of very complicated surgery. In the end the tumor was gone (YEAH) his stomach has actually become apart of his esophagus. Just amazing what modern medicine can do. His surgeon, Dr. Ott, who is actually the chief of surgury for oncology, was very positive about everything. Him and his staff as well as the nursing staff are just AWESOME. They seem to be very concerned about the patient as well as the family. I am very very very glad all went so well. I love you very much Dad and all of us will be here for you through your recuperation. Grandma also deserves a large round of applauds. She as been there for Grandpa through this whole entire adventure. And what an adventure it has been. You really find out what you are made of when something comes into your lives and you actually make it through.
Grandpa has been in ICU for only 2 days and tonight, Saturday night, he is to be moved to a private room in the Patient Tower at the new Hospital. His spirits are good and I can tell all of you that he has been thinking of his beautiful family more than he thinks of himself. Especially McKenzie, Noah and Brayden. WHAT THE HECK IS IT WITH THE GREAT GRANDKIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Dad and Mom and all the rest of my exceptional family. This will be a MERRY CHRISTMAS.........................
