Praise God!

My dad's surgery went well. We got up this morning at a little before 5:30. We had to be at the hospital by 6. We made it there, then we had to wait around for a bit. They took my dad back. About 8 they started surgery. We didn't hear anything for a couple hours. Then the doctor who did the first part came and told us that everything went well. Then he had another doctor do some other stuff. He came when he was done and said it went well. So, my dad went to the recovery place about 1:45. We couldn't see him until about 4:15. It was a long day, but praise God, everything went well. Thanks for all the prayers. We appreciate them.

First doctor - Cut a couple inch diameter circle around the tumor. Sternum, parts of three ribs, and all came out. Then he put a mesh type thing there to keep all the body parts under that down and not popping out.

Second doctor - Flipped muscle from his stomach up over where they cut out and then did something to cover it i think.

That's how I understood it, so something may be a little bit wrong, and if so, it's an honest mistake. :)

I haven't blogged in a while. Cassy and Keith Wilson and their family came up for a few days. We went canoeing down the Wisconsin River while fishing. We didn't catch anything, except a turtle and two snails. It was a lot of fun though. We also went swimming and just hung out. It was really good to see them. We had a great time!

College is coming so fast! I still have to do tons of shopping. I leave on Friday and haven't really done any shopping at all, so hopefully we figure that all out. We are here at this hotel for another night. We might go out tonight to Walmart. I'm glad to see everyone blogged. It's good to hear from you all.
