Continued prayers much appreciated.

Surgery was a success and they confirmed the mass was benign.

John moving to ICU, Shelley waiting until she can see him.

-----Last Update of the day ---

Shelley finally got to see him and reports that John is doing GOOD, and that he has GREAT pain meds.

So let the recovery begin and soon he will be back on here posting.

    fighter

    he is fighter with wisdom and a positive attitude with his caregiver at his side. 

     

    add in all the support from here, family, friends and facebook 

     

    there is do doubt in my mind he is in good hands with the man above. 

     

    recovery will be slow but he is used to that with his experience.
