Post-surgery

Darin is out of surgery and in recovery now. The surgery was a success. The area responded well to radiation and chemo treatments so when the doctor went in, the infected area was as hard as a rock with no visible tumor.  The doctor was also going to look at the suspicious area on the liver but did not get the chance because it would have added 2-3 hours to his operation and it was tough to get to because of scarring from his motorcycle accident. The liver continues to be a concern. Darin and his doctors will have to make some decisions moving forward after evaluating the facts and outcome of the operation. It could mean another surgery in the coming weeks when they perform his reversal. For now, we will take this step as a success and are ready for the healing to begin for Darin.

I'm anxious to see him and may get the chance around 3:00 p.m. when he is moved to a room (no ICU). Thanks for all of your continued support and prayers. I know your thoughts are with us even if you're not in Houston.

Much love, Nicole
