What a fun time the twins and I had at the Sugar Creek Youth Triathlon to kick off our Labor Day morning. It was hard to tell who had more fun -- me spectating or them competing -- but it was a great event and I will include a couple of pictures in a later post.
It is the wonderful random meetings with so many sweet friends this morning that prompts me to give a few details as we move into a new week. We will travel back to Durham for Charlie's follow-up appointment with the surgeon this Thursday, September 9. Our expectations for the visit are that the staples will be removed from his belly, and he will be left with a stunning, trend-setting vertical railroad. I guess it's too bad swim season is over; he could have really turned some heads with that scar! We will also bid a fond farewell to the catheter he has been using. We will not miss that house guest one bit.
The part of the appointment we are probably anticipating the most is the pathology review. All of the surgical specimens that were sent for testing and review should be available by this time, and we will be told with near certainty whether any cancer had spread beyond the prostate and thus whether further treatment will be necessary. We will definitely share that news as soon as possible. We continue to ask for your prayers, and we give all glory to God for how He has lovingly, abundantly provided so far.
