Thank you for all the prayers John had…
Thank you for all the prayers.
John had the hernia surgery today. They were well prepared.
On February 1 John had to have blood work done at hospital to cross match blood if may be needed for/after surgery. On February 2 oncologist gave John another iron infusion.
February 3 was like a free day.
Today Judy had to take John to hospital at 5:30 a.m. Judy went with him to registration and to third floor surgery. Once they called John for prep they asked Judy to leave. They texted me with the following:
7:23 am patient in operating room
8:11 am procedure began
9:19 am procedure complete
9:23 patient in recovery area
9:34 Dr. called. Very large hernia; keep iced over weekend; take it easy over weekend.
The oncologist said he may want to give John one more infusion next week–depends on iron level after last blood draw.
John cannot begin his chemo treatments for four weeks after surgery; he has follow-up with surgeon on February 17.
Thanks again–those prayers work.
Judy
