Friday 9:00am Update
I was able to visit with Steve at 9:00 this morning and was greeted with a smiling face and clear blue eyes. Steve looks great!!! He looks much better than he did before surgery! His eyes are clear and his color great. They removed his NG tube (the tube that went from his nose into his stomach) and he is now able to eat a few ice chips every now and then. Not what you would call a great meal but considering he has had nothing since midnight Tuesday night this little bit of ice is welcome. Steve's nurse said he had a great night and is exactly where he should be in his recovery. I would like to clarify Steve's diagnosis. Some of you have heard that Steve had pancreatic cancer. This is not the case. He has colon cancer that has metastasized to the pancreas. This is a different type of cell and is treatable with surgery, chemo and/or radiation. Steve and I thank God for our daily miracles and we thank all of you for your prayers and concerns. I will keep you updated. Paddy
