Successful surgery

Chris went into surgery at about 12:20 today.  The surgery unit was a little behind schedule. He got out of surgery at 3:18.  We were expecting the surgery to go  about 3 hours and it did.  Dr. Kim was pleased with how the surgery went.  He said the tumor was one of the bigger ones he's seen.  The good news was the tumor was totally encapsulated, so the tumor hadn't grown beyond the colon wall. We will know if the lymph nodes contain cancer in a few days after being biopsied. We feel like the Lord has guided  us to a very skillful surgeon and know we were in very good hands today.  As we were waiting for the surgery, we got a picure of all the FJH basketball players at breakfast today. They were wearing ribbons in support of Mckay's dad fighting cancer and being in surgery and wouldn't be able to go to the game.  This picture made me teary.  We have the best support group out there and thanks for supporting McKay on a very big day!  Go FJH they won!!! 78-27 - way to go!!
