All checked into my room!

We have been made aware of a few changes. I am scheduled for a Right Thoracotomy. This procedure involves a large incision that will wrap around my right side, deflate my right lung, possible cutting of some ribs, and give a window of access behind my heart to best reach the tumor. I will be on a breathing machine for 24 hours and in ICU for hopefully only a day then to a regular room for the duration of my stay.

There are no words to express my sincere gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love and support that everyone has shown to me and my family. Thank you...

  2. James & Family,

    We've got Grandma and Grandpa here and we're teaching them how to use the blog. Our family fast was wonderful with great feelings of love and care for you and your family. We know Heavenly Father's greatest blessings will be with you. We're praying for the doctors and nurses to have a very successful operation. You are so strong and such a great example of courage to all of us. We look forward to staying updated on the blog. Just know that we are all there for you and willing to help your family in any way we can.

    Love the Larry & Pat Olson Family
