Ron had surgery yesterday. (Tuesday, August 17th) According to the doc, all went well. He was able to use the robot for the entire surgery. The doc was able to remove the prostate gland while preserving the nerve bundles that surround the gland. His only concern was the left side of the prostate gland looked "a little ragged on the margins." The left side was the side that showed 70% cancer cells in the biopsy. We will wait for the pathology report to come back next week for the results.
Ron was up walking about the hospital last evening. No rest for the weary!! One of his complaints is he can't eat until noon today. And then he can only have yummy stuff like jello!
Our long-time friend Kathleen came to the hospital and waited with us for the better part of the day. Aly arrived yesterday around noon. Aaron is here... Drew was sent to Medford, Oregon on Monday to fight a fire in that region. It's great having at least 2 of the kids home.
Ron is scheduled to come home tomorrow. We appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers during the recovery phase of this adventure!
