Today has sure been a roller coaster day. Dad’s heart went into A fib this morning (while I was  was caused by fluid from the surgery and they don’t believe Dad will have to be on any medication when he gets home. Within the few hours, Dad’s heart has gotten back to normal! The doctor came in this evening and told us the tumor was apparently a benign mass! The test showed that it was not the sarcoma that he had before. Praise the Lord! I have never seen my mom smile so much in my entire life (besides the day Cooper was born). The doctor thinks the tumor was caused by inflammation of his bowel and then grew this rare sac…he told you he was strange! The doctors do not think at this point that he will have to have any treatment for the tumor. We think Dad will be released Monday or Tuesday and they will take their time getting home. I think Sharon and I will start heading back at some point tomorrow and arrive Sunday afternoon. We would appreciate if you would not call or text Mom or Dad this evening. They are exhausted and need some time to rest. We cannot thank everyone enough for all the prayers and thank our Lord for being faithful.
