It has been a while since I was here. Mary and I have had an eventful two weeks. Mary went in for surgery and all went well. It was a roller coaster ride. We were told pre-surgery the cyst was no cancer, but it needed to come out so it wouldn't become. Three days after the surgery we found out it was cancer. Then we found out they had got it all and the lymph nodes were all clean so she was in the doctors words "cured". The cancer was slow growing one and the chances of it reappearing are very slight. She will have to undergo annual test, but we fully expect Mary to remain cancer free. I thank her doctor, Doctor Howard, Missouri Baptist hospital staff, and everyone for all their support and prayers. We serve a wonderful God who supplies us with sure rich blessings. Also I want to thank the people of my church Bethel Fellowship A/G for all the cards. food, visits, and prayer. And last but not least my wonderful kids. Jay, Becci, Andi, John, the girls, and the boys are so uplifting to Mary and me. I will keep you all updated on how she is doing. I need to get back to work.
