Tumor destroyed by cryotherapy

Roger was resting when I left him at 9:30 tonite...His surgery was about three hours and the tumor doctor still says it is very unusual and did not elect to remove it, but take some more of it ...send it to Walter Reed and freeze and kill the tumor and let the body do the rest.....he thinks that his pain will slowly go away, but that it will increase for this next week or so while the healing process begins...yipee more morphine....he still has more tests to undergo, but I think that they are just trying to be very thorough and are definitely not very fast at it. I will go back in the am, but I don't know that he will be coming home tomorrow....he has a catheder, IV, Morhpine drip and a drain tube where the surgery took place.....His arm and shoulder are numb from the block they did and he was not liking that....I think that he thinks he won't be able to ever feel his hand and arm......we thank everyone for their prayers for Roger and our little Colbie....looks like the power of prayer and how loud it sounded in the heavens really worked....just keep them coming....we love all of you and want to thank you....you know who you are......TBC
