Hi All,

Brad is in recovery.  We just talked to Dr. Holbrook.  There were three tumors total.  They were able to get all three out.  The spleen was removed (the Dr. said the tumor in the spleen was pretty nasty), along with a portion of his small intestine, a small portion out of his stomach, a small portion of his pancreas, and a small portion of one of his adrenal glands (none of which will affect his general health).  Dr. Holbrook says it does look like lymphoma and that they were able to get all of the tumors.  Future treatment will rely upon the results
from the labs (which we should have in 7-10 days).  He said Brad is doing well and I will be able to see him when he wakes up).  We are grateful for him and his dedication to his profession. We feel incredibly blessed to have him as Brad’s surgeon.

Thanks again for all that you all have done.  We have felt so much strength and peace from our Heavenly Father today.  We are grateful for your love for Brad and for our family.  What peace it gives us to feel our Heavenly Father’s love through you.  We love you.

Love, Mindy
