Update: Good News, Bad News

Another update:
   The good news: THE CATARACT SURGERY WENT AWESOME! 

For the past year and 1/2 Mr. Clark has worn these ugly dark glasses!
Today we went for a Sunday drive to the lake. Without the dreaded dark glasses! Not only does the light not irritate his eyes...
HE CAN SEE!!!!!!!!

SHEW...

(scheduled the second Cataract surgery on July 13th.)

The bad news:

His colonoscopy didn't fair as well.

He has a large polyp listed as a High Grade Displacia
(which is the stage just before cancer)

He will be needing surgery to remove 3" of his colon.

Scheduled for Aug. 8th (not)
Now Aug 22nd.
due to the surgeons family emergency.



MORE BAD NEWS...

Our regular Physician has RETIRED
TEARS AND MORE TEARS...
I can't say enough good about this guy.
HE HAS BEEN OUR ADVOCATE.
OUR SAVIOR,
OUR BIGGEST SUPPORT.
Not only a Doctor but a COUNSELOR!
OUR FRIEND.
WE WILL MISS HIM



EVEN MORE BAD NEWS...

OUR KIDNEY DOCTOR HAS MOVED...

This will be difficult because he has been another amazing Doctor that we felt personally attached too.  Not many Doctors make you feel like they are your ONLY patient.
He has been at our side at a drop of a needle.

We felt so much CONFIDENCE in these Doctors that it is going to be difficult to find anyone else like them.


OUR PROGRESS HAS HIT A LITTLE BUMP

THE GOOD NEWS:

If it wasn't for his upcoming evaluation at
 Baylor Med in Dallas, Texas
for his kidney/pancreas transplant
we may have found out too late that he has issues.
*Baylor Eval temporarily cancelled
until reports come back from the colon surgery.
:(

EVEN BETTER NEWS...
We still are hopeful he will get to Baylor Medical for his kidney/pancreas transplant
We anticipate that after all is said and done.
HE WILL BE A BRAND NEW HEALTHY MAN!

Keep him in your prayers.
