It has been a whirlwind of a week. Once we got home, T had a bit of let-down, or major fatigue hit, or something like that. His temperature was low, and he was just exhausted. I think the twelve hours without rest on Monday afternoon/evening had something to do with that. Each day he has grown a bit stronger, but he realizes that he is not up to his normal pace and probably won't be for a while. He's ready to do more, however. Today he ran some errands, including chasing down some more medical supplies for bandaging his wounds. We don't have the same goodies here in Oly that we were able to buy in Houston, but he was able to find some others that will suffice.
The big news, the good news, is that the pathology report is finally complete, and all is clear. The doctors have said there should be no more surgery and no additional radiation. We are so relieved! T had maximum radiation back in 2004 and it would be tricky to go there again. The fact that he doesn't have to is just such a relief; I can't begin to tell you what a weight has been lifted from my mind and heart!
I know many have wanted more updates but really, this was the last big piece for our saga. We are hoping to put this behind us and move on with our lives. I've been back in the classroom since Wednesday, and Terry hopes to go back next week. We are so grateful for your support and prayer. Thank you for traveling this road with us over the past several weeks. We know how fortunate we are; we have witnessed those who have had far more serious outcomes. We are so blessed to have experienced healing yet again. God bless you all!
It has been a privilege to walk with you both through this. God is good. He is good all the time. That is not a cliche, as you know, having been on the front lines for so many years. But this is an occasion again to Praise Him.
