On Golden Pond

Well one day post-op and Gene's left eye is almost swollen shut. The surgery went well and all cancer is gone from his face, but he looks like an Irish boxer loosing badly (the redish beard and swelling). His mom, and brother Erich, came up Thursday night and were at the hospital for the surgery. They have both gone home now. Kaitlyn just keeps starring at daddy and saying you eye looks 'downer' (the swelling makes it look lower). Besides a swollen and bruised face he is feeling well. Thanks to all who have been praying. Please continue to lift up prayers. The swelling and bruising will last a while and a normal look is going to be a bit of a wait.
