Better Than Expected
Greg's surgery ran from 7:45am to noon, and went better than expected with no complications. The cancer was not touching Greg's diaphragm, so none of that muscle had to be removed. In fact, the cancer does not appear to have spread anywhere else in his body. The right lobe and half the left lobe of his liver were removed, which is about what was planned. The area of the cancer was about 2 1/2 inches in size, having been significantly reduced by the chemotherapy. Greg had no excessive bleeding, and there was no need for a blood transfusion.
Greg is doing so well that he was moved directly to the recovery room and is not going to spend any time in the Intensive Care Unit. After spending the night in the recovery room, he will be moved to a regular room.

Praise God for such a wonderful gift! Carson has been praying for you in Bosnia, too. The kids kept asking me what time it was in Houston as we were praying for you. I wish you could hear their prayers! I love to learn from the hearts of children, especially their complete faith... no question in their minds that God will answer what they ask for. And oh, has He!!
