    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. David's two hour surgery turned in to four. The doctor thinks he got all of the primary tumor. David's throat swelled a lot so they are leaving him intubated and in ICU for a while. I haven't seen him since 7:45 thus morning and I am ready to see him. The doctor said he was going to discuss davids case with the oncology board. He is concerned he may have to go in and do the neck dissection before radiation and chemo.

    Glad he is out of surgery
    Glad he is out of surgery and things are going ok. Hope you can see him soon. I will continue praying for both of you.
