Marty is home now, has been since Saturday. His recovery has amazed me. He had an epidural in the hospital for a few days and since they removed it he hasn't had a need for any pain medication. We got the pathology report and they got all of the cancer in his colon and it didn't spread to any lymph nodes!!!! He will see an oncologist in a couple of weeks and we will know if he will have to go through chemotherapy, either way things look really good right now. I have to say this has been such a scary ordeal for us, but also a great blessing. We have never been closer as a couple or a family. I look forward to every minute I get to spend with him. It also has made him realize what I went through when I had the kids. He has a c-section type of incision and he keeps telling me he didn't take good enough care of me after I had them..... I LOVE to hear that!
We are also so thankful for all of our friends and family. We have had dinner brought to us every night, I can't thank all of you enough. Last night my kids were literally fighting over who got the last chicken puff, they were delicious. I hope that I get the chance to return the favor to all of you! We really appreciate all the love and support and we love every single one of you!!
