Surgery is over and the tumor is gone. They took over half of his liver. The pathology report will come back on Monday. When Becky asked the surgeon what the prognosis was, he replied that "this is a hurdle race and this is the first hurdle". KB and Becky will get to see Kevin shortly.
Kevin woke up this morning and said..."Are you ready for some football?" Appropriately, the tumor was the size of a football. He went for 2 and scored! TOUCHDOWN!!!
The prayers and comments were very encouraging today. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!!!

Touchdown in the first quarter -prayers for the 3Bs and the MDs -answered! Are visitors allowed to the 4th floor? If so- there must be a sign up sheet due to the overwhelming number of visitors to check on the 3Bs.
The Story 4 are ready to report for duty on the 2nd hurdle!
