Julie continued to stay ahead of schedule on her recovery of the surgery so she was discharged this afternoon and we are home at her cousin’s in Jacksonville. She is scheduled to return next Friday (13th) to have the staples removed as well as to receive some immunizations required now that she doesn’t have a spleen. Dr. Robertson believes that as healthy as Julie is other than the cancer that she may be ready to begin the last 9 weeks of chemo on Friday, October 20th. Dr Robertson attributed Julie’s rapid recovery of such an extensive surgery as her young age, good health, and “the good Lord looking out for you.” We think it was more of the last than anything and God honoring the many prayers of his children all over that have been and continue to pray for us.
On a different note, I have a minor outpatient eye surgery as a glaucoma preventative on Friday, October 13th. We have someone that is going to come stay with Julie while I am gone and get her to her follow up appointment to have the staples removed and the immunizations. The eye surgeon tells me that since I am only having one eye done that I can drive myself and it won’t be a problem, but Julie wants me to have someone go with me, so if any of you men have the day off on Friday, October 13th and feel like riding to Glennville and back with me that day please let me know. I do not yet know the time — just the day.
