I talked to Cindy about 2:30 PM today, she gave me an update for the family.
Ernie's surgery was successful, as they were able to remove all of the tumor. Unfortunately it is cancerous and he will need some Chemo once he recovers. They took the tumor and his lymph nodes, they also took a piece from his liver, though they do not think it is cancerous.
Cindy was very upbeat and said that it went as well as could be expected.
Ernie is on LOTS of medicine, including dilauded that is stronger than morphine.
He will be in the hospital for about 5 more nights. He will not want any visitors tonight as he will be out of it.
He is at St. Mary's in room 223.
Ernie has a long recovery, but he made it thru the first steps today.
Please continue to keep Ernie and his family in your prayers.
Andy
