Michael's brother Ted had his big surgery yesterday. It went very well according to the doctors. They had to take his entire pancreas and some surrounding lymph nodes, the gall bladder, spleen, and other tissue that could be effected if there was any cancer. Initial study shows that the cancer was NOT malignant, the tumor had not even grown!!! This is great news obviously. The family is very relieved. He will spend several days in ICU and then several weeks in the hospital recovering. He will have to take insulin for the rest of his life but that seems at this point a small price to pay to live a full healthy life.
Thank you all for your prayers. It has meant a lot to our family to know that there are so many out there lifting him up. Please pray for a quick and full recovery for him and continued strength for the family.
