Friday Update

The doctors are pleased with the outcome of the surgery. He said it took a little longer than expected, but it was because they were able to save some nerves and tendons. The doctor was able to get all the cancer out and get a good margin around it. Give glory to God that Randy is able to move his toes and have some feeling in his foot. He will be able to use his foot which is a definite blessing. He did have physical therapy today which caused some expected pain. They took the block off this afternoon and are now trying to regulate the pain with meds. If he can tolerate the pain well enough, then he can come home tomorrow.

Please continue to pray for him with this big transition in his life. Also, the pathology report should come back in a week or week and a half to tell how the chemo affected the cancer. We are looking for a 95% kill rate or more to know how affective the chemo was. This report will affect his next treatment.

He still plans on going the the Prom next weekend after he gets his new black cast to match his tux. His date said she would push him around in a wheelchair if he needs it.

Check back to see if he gets to come home tomorrow!
