Surgery Day...

Firstly, I would just like to say how important my daughter Stefani Rae Scott is. She is the light of my life, the bee to my knee, the flutter in my butter and because of these wonderful things I put her in charge of today's blog:

Aww thanks Dad :)

So today was the big day! We woke up this morning around 4:30, got dressed, powdered our noses (Dad included), and drove to the hospital. We arrived around 5:30 and immediately went into pre-opt. The nurses had told him that he had to take a shower with "special soap" because he hadn't done it the night before. When I was younger, that's what the nurse would always give to the dirty girl in school when she hadn't bathed either. Anyway, after his shower, they wheeled him into the holding room to discuss the procedure and went over everything, twice, three times, and so on...We then said our prayers and kissed him goodbye.

About two hours later, Dr. DeArmond walked into the waiting room. He told us that he had removed 3 tumors from his right lung. One tumor was apparently more difficult than the others to take out, but everything else went well and he could possibly be going home as soon as tomorrow.

Now, he is in his room recovering. Of course he is in pain, but in high spirits as usual. He seems to be doing extremely well! He's conversing, laughing, and even telling some jokes.

We would like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, calls, texts, and kind words. You guys mean the world to us! Dad, you are an inspiration to us all :) Mmmmmuah! Love you, need you, goodnight!

Sorry if this is diffucult to read it has been a looooong day, it is late, and I don't speak well English.
