The big day finally arrived! We were at the hospital at 5:30 am as planned. A lot of waiting and prep. Here he has his IV's in, and the doctors, nurses and anesthesiologists are coming in and out with consent forms...
Dr. H came in at about 7:40 in great spirits, full of energy (Dr. H is the original energizer bunny). Mom (Anne), Pat and Uncle Mike were with us. Dr. H joined us as we all held hands and gathered around Doug as Pat offered a prayer. Dr. H said he had already prayed himself about Doug's surgery so now we are doubly covered.We know our friends and family are holding him tight in their thoughts and prayers right this minute and we feel all of them and are so grateful for you all.
Praise God! The first good news we've had since this whole ordeal began. The pathology report is back, the margins are clear, all tests for additional or spread cancer are NEGATIVE!!!! The operation is proceeding as planned and the neo bladder is being constructed as I type this! Doug will be SO happy when he wakes up. In pain, but happy and cancer free! Now we just wait for Dr. H to complete the surgery and come out and give us all the details. Then, Doug will be in recovery for 2 -3 hours then transferred to a room. God is good all the time!
