TT Update

This week has been a roller coaster of emotions for our family. Our son had tongue cancer surgery this past Monday and came home the next day. He has been in tremendous pain with swollen tongue and glands. Just imagine how it must feel. He has made slow progress, but at least it is progress. His diet consists of liquids. We are trying to be creative with foods, but he mostly eats milk shakes and instant potatoes in broth. And then it is difficult to get them down. He is able to talk a little, but doesn't attempt much due to the pain. He knows sign language, and we have been able to communicate in that way since Monday. I didn't realize he knew as much sign as he does, and he challenges me because he is very quick in signing. He has also resorted to pen and paper. He wanted us to go to the movies yesterday but decided he didn't feel well enough just yet. Maybe next week. Continue to keep him in your prayers.
