Phil's surgeries are finally done! The cancer had almost reached his eyeball by the time of the surgery. They cut his whole lower lid off, plus a big part of his face. They made a new eyelid, and sewed his eye shut. Then they cut his face almost in half, and pulled it up and over. There must be over 200 stitches. But his face stitches will be taken out on Tuesday! Your face heals very fast! His eye will remain sewed shut for over a month while the new lid forms.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and cards!! It means a lot! Now, I am treating and cleaning his face several times a day. I will know when the time is right to return, probably after my nursing duties are over. See you soon!

I'm sure you didn't want to leave him Ginny but if you come down to have stitches removed and need a place for both of you to stay, PLEASE let me know. Or maybe we could even just meet you for lunch somewhere... If there's anything we could do to help, please let me know!

I've been off the computer for almost two weeks and just now getting around to paying visits with bloggers.
My goodness, what you two have gone through the last few months, it's incredible. But, survival is definitely the big part here. Hope and pray that the healing process is a success and improvement shows soon.
Take it easy. BOTH of you.
