This is Lori.  David had Colon Resection Surgery using Laparoscopic Surgery to remove 18" of his descending colon this morning.  The links above are three ways of explaining the procedure.  View at your own discretion ! 

Thank you for all the prayers, e-mails and texts.  We painted our nails blue in support of victims of Colon Cancer as March is Colon Cancer Awareness month.  Many guys have painted their toe nails blue to show their support as well and have sent me a photo.  Dave is wearing his jeans in the above photo.  He has cute feet, right?

March 31, 2014- Arrive to hospital at 6:15am, get spoiled by four nurses and two doctors.  Surgery lasted three hours 8-11am to remove cancer and lymph nodes connected to the section of colon that had the cancer.  Dave took two hours to wake up from anesthesiology.  1:30pm he was in pain but was happy to see his family.  The cancer was bulging out thr colon lining.  We are very hopeful the cancer was contained and only a small about of Chemo will be needed if any.  We will hear back from Pathology Friday if has spread to the lymph nodes. a "mass" of something was removed with the section of his diseased colon which they speculate was a lymph node. Our prayer is that it was caught before it spread to the next one.

He would love his friends to visit him after 4pm Tuesday, April 1  (He is too tired to visit right now) .

I will post everyone's nails who text me a photo tomorrow on this Blog.
