Is that on fabric or on the body??? I guess it depends on if you are talking to a surgeon or a seamstress.
Today we met our surgeon - a very loud talking but kind hearted gentleman. After waiting 2 hours to see the doctor we were given a little bit of a surprise. He informed us that Jonathan would be in the hospital for 3 - 5 days after surgery depending on how long it takes for his body get back to normal. He will be having 3 procedures but thankfully only one operation. There will be a head and neck specialist to remove the tumor on his neck and the Urologist will be doing the other two. The "simple" procedure will be removing the testicle. The "involved" procedure will be opening the stomach and removing all the enlarged lymph glands. Jonathan will have an incision from sternum to 3 inches below the belly button. Needless to say he will be in massive pain for a few weeks. Please continue to pray for grace and mercy as we embark on this last leg of our journey.
