Surgery is finished

Ken's doc, Dr. Weyant, came out and his surgery went fine. He said he removed 2 racketball size lymph nodes. He said with lymphoma, you actually need lots of tisue to get a true reading of the type, with other cancers you can take just a small biopsy. So we should know early next week about his cancer. He also sewed up the duct where the fluid was leaking. They did a little test to see if they could see another leak and didn't see one, but they will keep him here till at least Monday to see how that goes. They scrubed the inside of his lung cavity so that the lung would adhere to it. He said he even put baby powder in there to keep his lung cavity from collecting fluid again. Weird to me, but hope it works. He is not going to get any food or drink for a few days, till they know if this worked. So somebody go have a prime rib for Ken. They are going to give him stuff in an IV. I still haven't seen him and I don't know if he will be in ICU or not. The doc said it would depend on his pain. They did a lot to fix him up. Doc said he has already been thru enough this month, he wanted to fix everything while he was in there. So... we are still waiting. It will probably be a long weekend. I will continue to let you know how he does. Thank you for praying for us and Thank God and the doctors and nurses for taking care of Ken. Bless you all. Have a Blessed night. Bev
