Today is Thursday and it is Dr. appointment Day
Hey Everyone,
Today is a new day!! Hallelujah!!
Tom and Bev went to MDAnderson today. Amy drove, thank you Amy. They saw Dr. Ross, the Melonoma doctor. Dr. Ross said all margins were clear in the pathology report. He was pleased and he will not return for 3 months. Next was on to the head and neck surgeon. I failed to mention before that Tom had a syst removed on his right forearm. The stitches were not removed from there today. Pathology was clear there as well. The drain line in his chest was not removed. It continues to produce over 30 cc's of fluid in a 24 hour period, therefore, it must remain in for a few more days. Monday Tom will start therapy for his facial muscles. The doctor removed over 11 staples and probably as many stitches. Only every other external stitch was removed. The internal stitches will dissolve on their own, eventually. There are at least 11 more staples that must be removed next week. The swelling has VERY slowly started to go down. Also, as a result of the swelling, there are some stretch marks on Tom's cheek.
I can hardly believe that one week ago today, we were sitting at the hospital!! Please continue to pray for Tom and Beverly for a continued recovery.
Have a great day,
Kim and Crew
