G update

We arrived at the hospital at 11 am. We were due to arrive at 11:30 a. m. We were informed they were behind schedule. They were supposed to take him back at 1:30 but he didn't go back until 3 pm. The surgery didn't begin until 4:15. The Dr came to visit us at 6:20. He sd G did well. They took 12" of his colon & stitched it back together. There was very little blood & they got all of the cancer.

He was in recovery for 2 more hours. My mom kept me company during the surgery & recovery. Thank mom. She also brought me food.
I spent the night w/ G & he was in a lot of pain. His pain didn't improve until 4 a.m.

Yesterday he sat up & walked around twice. He was tired most of the day & napped.
He had liquids to eat which was a mistake made by the Nurse tech.
He was only supposed to have ice chips.

Thank you Karen picking Colin up from school taking him to gymnastics & helping him with his homework.
Also thank you for taking him trick or treating tonight.

Thank you Mom & Dad for keeping Colin Monday night, I know you all didn't get much sleep.
