Quick Update
October 27, 2003
I only have 6 minutes before I leave to finish the second half of my split shift but this morning, Eri’s dad went into surgery at 9am. At around 1:30pm, Eri called and said that the surgery was successful. Funny thing though was that they removed the cancer and the ENTIRE stomach. That’s right. He is now less a stomach. They connected the esophagus directly to the small intestines. What this means is that he will have to eat more often in small amounts than before. I think something like 6 times a day at the least. Interesting stuff.
It’s great news that they were able to remove the cancer but now we have to wait and see if any cancer cells remained and if they will spread to other parts of the body. Thanks everyone for the happy thoughts – I am certain they made a difference in the greater scheme of things. Keep them coming!
