Surgery #4

The surgery yesterday went well with very little drama thankfully.  The docs were able to remove one tumor about 2-3 inches in diameter and 10 smaller ones.  They saw no signs of cancer in any other organs in his abdominal area which is very good news.  He had a good night and is in no pain this morning.  He is expected to get out of bed and sit in a chair for a while today, they want him moving around as soon as possible.  So, that will be our goal for today.  

He is in good spirits, no pain and talking about eating.  Of course he cannot have anything to eat yet, maybe not  for the next two or three days,  but having an appetite is a good thing for Bill these days.  Hopefully he will get the okay for food soon.  

At this point we don't know how long our stay in the hospital will be, we're thinking about a week if all goes as planned.  We're trying to stay positive, the staff at University are top notch so we know we're in good hands.  As always, thanks for keeping us in your prayers.  Holly
