Let the official training begin.

Dad is out of surgery and all is well on the home front. Dr. Pittman (Dad's neurosurgeon and current knight in shining armor) was able to remove the tumor. He believes that although radiation and possibly chemo will follow, the surgery was an overall success. Dad is awake and alert in recovery. Up to this point, his only request is for someone to bring him his glasses (we are pretty sure that all loved ones are an unspoken request). We will be allowed to go see him in a minute. The nurse has told us only 2 people are allowed in at a time. The three children were trying to figure out who will go in first with Mom. John was given the privilege because neither of us wanted to play second fiddle to Mom (sorry, John). From here on, Dad will be able to follow up with Tom Baeker (Pollom family hero).

Once again, we can't thank you enough for your support and prayers through this. Dad is a fighter. He just wanted to remind us.

xoxo,
Sarah and Sam
