3:10 PM I just met with the surgeon, Dr Fong. He said everything went well, the remaining tissue in her mouth looked good, it was enough to suture some of it and some will just heal on it's own. The neck dissection was good too, took out some lymph nodes and they will be biopsied and we will know the results next week. Radiation could be an option just to make sure all the microvascullar cancer is gone. Diane will have a feeding tube for a several days so it gives her throat time to heal, and the Dr. expects her to come home Fri or Sat. I haven't seen my honey yet, but I will send her all sorts of love and support from everyone. Here's to a quick and full recovery! Also a big thanks to Chris from the Creek hanging out with me this morning, it was a pleasure to hang with you and get to know you, Thanks.

Jim,
You know how I feel about the two of you and the kids. I could feel Gary's prayers with Diane all day and with the surgeon during the operation. He loved you both so much. (My prayers were in there too with everyone else's, but he has a ringside seat). Please give my love to Diane when you can, and Jim - get some rest!
I love you all,
Karen
Wow...it sounds good so far. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
