Yesterday, Arlan's Dad, underwent kidney surgery to remove the large kidney tumor/cancer that engulfed his right kidney. The entire kidney was removed along with a larger than anticipated tumor. The urologist seemed pleased that the surgery went well taking into account his amount of blood loss & size of tumor. We are headed to the hospital today and are prayerful he had a good first night with pain controlled and able to rest as he will have a several weeks of recovery. Pathology tests (hopefully received this Friday) will show if the cancer has possibly spread outside the kidney area.
Thanks for your prayers & please continue to pray for:
- Orlan's pain & that he can slowly but surely begin to regain back movement & functions.
- Carol as she stays by his side during long hospital days.
- The grace to accept the outcome of the biopsy report.
I will continue to post updates on Orlan's progress periodically so please check back.
Also, it's been over a month since I've posted on my father & although things have been quite hectic, I do plan on updating soon.
Blessings,
Katie
