Dad will be so disappointed when he wakes up and is just looking at the boring faces of his family. We can't compare with Jesus but I guess we'll have to do for now.
We just talked to the neurosurgeon that operated on Dad. He was able to remove all of the tumor and place time released chemotherapy tablets into the cavity that housed the tumor. The MRI had accurately shown the size and depth of the tumor and by the grace of God, there were no surprises during surgery.
The next step is for Dad to recover from the anesthesia which should take about an hour and a half. Then we get to pick on his skinny shaved head.
Dad will remain in ICU for about three more days and then be moved to a regular room. The pathology on the tumor will be returned on Friday and treatment will be decided at that point. We do know that the tumor was malignant but we don't know how this will affect treatment until Friday.
Thank you for all of your prayers and check back for regular updates.

We keep you in our prayers and know that the Lord knows what he is doing.It's such an amazing story that Chili one's! Luv you all FRANCE-LISE from Sénégal

Luther is probably homesick but he's making up for it by trying to eat my orange cat here at the farm. It's keeping him very busy and we're happy for that. He would like to know where his chili dog is.
I've know your dad since childhood and he has always held a special place in my heart. I wept when I read your first blog. Tears of profound sorrow mixed with extreme joy. Your collective family testimony punctuates the many testimonies written in the Churches history. It caused me to reflect again on the wonder of a sovereign God who loves and sustains and a Son who has conquered sin and death.
