Praise God for answered prayers! After Grandpa's surgery, last Wednesday, he had a few set backs in the hospital. He had a couple days of abnormal bleeding and some brain confusion and an allergic reaction from some meds he was on. But yesterday they took away his saline drip and oxygen and started him on food! Everyone says he's back to his old self and he can't stop thinking about eating Thanksgiving dinner.
Our family has so much to be thankful for this thanksgiving. Grandpa found out yesterday that they were able to remove all the cancerous cells from his colon with just the surgery. He will not be needing chemo at this time. They plan to send him home today or tomorrow, just in time for the holiday. They will watch him more closely with another colonoscopy next year to be sure he is still cancer free.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for our family, God has truly blessed us over the years. Grandpa's pain from surgery has gone away and he will continue to heal fully now. I think he looks forward to going home and getting back to his normal life. At this time, each year, Grandma and Grandpa decorate 3 Christmas trees in their house. One of the trees holds so many Precious Moment ornaments that they have no extra branches and they have to wire it to the ceiling so it won't fall over!
