Daddy Update

We are home from OKC with good news. They will NOT have to do a leg amputation. Dr Smith feels like she can get all or most of the tumor/cancer out. He will loose some muscle,may need some radiation therapy and probably wear a brace but as daddy puts it, “a butchered up leg is better than no leg”-AMEN

Mr gp is going to pick daddy up on Monday, while I fix him fried chicken,mashed taters with gravy and veggies-he can’t eat after midnight,so I am gonna make sure he has a good home-cooked meal. His surgery is scheduled for Tuesday in OKC and we hope to have him home on rainbow mountain in Ft Gibson by Thursday-

We are a family who completely believes in the Power of Prayer so Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers, it will be a long road to recovery as he will need physical therapy and if Dr Smith isn’t able to completely remove the tumor he may need a medical oncologist. A CT scan will be done on Tuesday to make sure the sarcoma hasn’t spread to his lungs. 

We have made reservations at The Courtyard By Marriott in OKC-they just opened for business today and I was assured we will be the first to sleep on their sheets-I was just excited they wanted my business so badly they gave us rooms that typically have a going rate of $149 for $79 and he comp’d in their full breakfast buffet that is normally $10 pp for our entire family of 14 travelers. The rooms have fridges and microwaves, so we can take sandwiches for the beans to eat.

My Confession for today: clean sheets,fridge,microwave & breakfast included, one less thing I gotta worry about on Tuesday-Thank You Lord!
