Update on my DH

Hi all. Life has taken quite a turn. What we thought was dementia turned out to be GBM (glioblastoma) tumors I. His brain. If you can choose what type of a tumor to have, this is NOT it. He has surgery on Thursday. They could get 70% of the front lobal tumor, the other was inoperable. He will get chemo and radiation which will give us more, and better time, for several months.

It has been quite a rollercoaster taking it all in, but God has given us such comfort and peace. We are enjoying the gift of each day God is blessing us with.

His 70th party Sept. 1 is still a go, per the surgeon.

I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.

We have so many praying for, helping, supporting us. The Ranch has us on a 6 month medical leave. We are feeling very blessed.
