Surgeon

Tuesday we went and saw the surgeon. The appointment went well. Kent wasn't feeling well that day, but we made it! The doctor said he could tell the chemo was taking its toll, but that it is necessary to "reduce the risk factors" of Kent dying. It was an... interesting conversation. He sounded like he thought things were more serious then we currently believe, but he didn't elaborate. We have decided though that we are going to stick to believing that all is going as smoothly as we want it to be going. :)

Anyways... He said that the surgical site seems to be healing well. We talked a little about the upcoming surgery... for whatever reason, that we do not know, they are moving the surgery to an earlier date. It was originally going to happen at the end of October, now it is supposed to happen sometime in September. Probably the middle to the end of the month. We aren't sure why the change, but are hoping it is just because he healed so well. I guess we'll see!

This changes a lot of stuff though. We are figuring out moving and classes and, well, life! We had Kent taking first block classes to maintain his enrollment at BYU, but now we need to find some different classes that he can take second block instead. Hopefully he has recovered enough to handle the classes then. I am sure he will do well. My sweetheart is tough.

The appointment was great because it gave us a clearer perspective on how close we are to "the end" of chemotherapy. We have already come so far, and yet it still feels like it isn't going to end. But we are almost there! Really! We are!! The Lord has guided us this far and we know He will continue to guide us. We are just taking each day as it comes and are so grateful for the blessings in each and every single day.
