Yeah!

It's gone! The doctors got the melanoma from Tom's abdomen and we got the call that the cancer is GONE! YEAH!!! They got it all! Also the nevis from his knee did not have melanoma, so that was good. Better that it's not there worrying us anyhow!

Thank you, everyone, for your constant prayers, kind thoughts, and care. We were very scared to learn his cancer had returned; looking back at the horrible chemo and tough times we went through was not fun thinking about having to relive that and with our blessing little baby, Nathan, added to the mix. We are SO greatful to the good Lord for laying out our lives just as they should be. Had I not lost my job, and had to move Tom's check-ups by 1 month, we could be in a very different boat right now. You just never know.

Tom is healing well. The doc took about a 3x4 section of skin out from his right side abdomen wall (full depth of skin), and he has about 27 stitches we counted. He keeps appologizing to me for being "deformed" from all these surgeries and scars and I keep telling him I wouldn't have him any other way. He is still beautiful to me. Better WITH the scars and the melanoma gone than the alternative!

Stitches come out on Friday this week and he returns to work (his new job) on Monday. We are so greatful, too, that his new job was so understanding with Tom having to take care of this right away after starting a week prior.

I have more updates and Nathan pics to post, and I PROMISE to post about how I can't believe my baby is 6-months old, and about our first trip to the Zoo yesterday!!
