Kelly went through the surgery Tuesday like a trooper, we were delayed 4
hours, so he was prepped and ready to go and we just sat and talked in the
pre-op room for a long time. The cancer was fully removed and the doctor
said he didn't feel any other tumors anywhere else, so he thought it was
pretty well contained, which is relieving to hear.
He has struggled to rest and let his body recover, but yesterday he did
sleep 10 hours. He felt fairly good today (he's still on pain medications)
and actually is up and walking around with friends. He said it felt better
today to move around and it actually helped. Kelly did say he realizes that
this is going to be a major challenge to not overdo, he's so use to going,
going, going for 18 hours a day and to all of a sudden stop and lay down and
do nothing is a incredibly difficult for him!
He has a follow up appointment next Wednesday morning the 18th where he will
hopefully get the pathologist's report about the type of cancer and we
should know more about follow up treatment at that point. We will let
everyone know what we learn. Until then please keep him in your prayers that
the cancer has not spread, that's the biggest concern.
Thanks to everyone who has been following and concerned about him. We
definitely feel the warmth of your love and caring and know with everyone
praying for him that whatever the outcome will be the Lord's will. Whatever
that may be, it will be okay.
Warmly,
The Conrads
