Daddy had a pretty rough night - he had a lot of discomfort and didn't rest well. A couple of times his bed had been adjusted and he wasn't able to reach the nurses button or his pain medicine - needless to say, the night was long.
The pathology reports still haven't come back but his oncologist guaranteed he would come back by as soon as he got the results. I think we will all feel a little bit better once we get those tests back.
His anesthesiologist came to see him before lunch and Dad told him about all of the pain he's been experiencing - plus all of the nausea, he hasn't been able to eat without feeling sick. So the anesthesiologist upped the medicine in his epidural and he was able to eat for the first time without feeling sick. He may get moved into a regular room tomorrow but I think he's a bit nervous about that after the night he had.
He's resting now, which is exactly what he needs. He even sent Mom home to rest as well. He's feeling MUCH better if he's letting her leave!!!
Thanks for all of the lovely comments - they mean so much to all of us.

P.S. He ate the cake and it was "Mmmm, mmmm, good!"

Hello Bro Dave, I'm so glad to hear that things are moving in a positive direction. I am praying for your pain relief and nausea relief. You are being prayed for all over the city. Rachel and I were in Belks when we heard that you were out of surgery and that it had gone very well. The lady that was checking us out said she was glad to hear that our "friend" had come through surgery well. When we told her that it was our pastor, she said she bet he's the one that her church has been praying for. When we confirmed it, she said she would pass the good news on. What a wonderful community we live in!
We continue to pray for you.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and that we couldn't be there Sunday to pray with you and with everyone else...but we were sure praying here in Magnolia, and have been ever since. We all love you--Kecia and family
Bro. Dave,
I hope that your pain will subside quickly! May you feel the blessings of all the prayers that are being offered for you, just as you've blessed so many people through the years with the prayers you've offered for them!

Hello David; we're glad to hear that your are doing well, although we know things will be a lot better when your nausea passes and life becomes more livable.
We look forward to your swift return, but don't rush back before the doctors are ready.
Love and many prayers,
