my brother - an update

Thank you for all your prayers the last several days...it has meant a lot....those seem like average, mundane words but to our family, we are learning to lean on prayer and our Redeemer.

My brother Lonn underwent surgery on Thursday [4/5...click here for the first blog post] and seems to be recovering okay...his wife thought he was doing better than she expected with recovery and he thinks he's not doing as well as he wanted...such perspective, huh?

He returned this past Thursday to Mayo for a follow-up consult and his pathology report from his lymph nodes & margins came back clear of cancer-such a HUGE praise! His next blood work will be done in July to continual test his PSA levels and it will be monitored every 3 months for a year and then every 6 months....probably for the rest of his life.

Again, thanks for all your thoughts & prayers on my family's behalf...not only was it an emotional Easter without Dad, but it was an emotional roller coaster with Lonn's surgery. We appreciate all our friends & family so much.
