Steve Update-11 p.m. July 10th
Steve underwent a 6 1/2 hour surgery on Wednesday, July 9 at Trinity hospital. The surgery was successful in that the doctor was able to remove the cancerous tumor from his pancreas along with all the surrounding lymph nodes. A small tumor was also removed from his liver. He had a procedure called a "Whipple" which involved removing part of his pancreas, his gall bladder, the duodenum, and a small part of both his stomach and small intestine. The doctor left a large part of his pancreas so he should not have a problem with becoming diabetic. He is intensive care and will be there throughout the weekend. We appreciate all the prayers, please keep them coming. God is soooo good! We feel that we have found a great team of doctors and with God's continuing help Steve should have a full recvovery.
