Nicholas has recently had his tumors removed from his abdomen and he's recovering at this time. He's very itchy and scratchy from the medicines and is having a hard time dealing with all his tubing. I am pleased to know that when I got to the hospital he had so much energy to look me in the eyes to say I love you. I was also able to shoot him some words of wisdom such as do what they tell you to do and listen to your nurses always. He was very responsive to this. He nearly lost a liter of blood during the surgery so we are happy and blessed to have all the blood donors that are out there.
Candice and I have raised a respectable, loving and fine young man and we are looking forward to seeing him raise his own children and loving up his own family. Nick is the type of young man that is destined to succeed and bless people with his wisdom and courage. He laughed and smiled his whole way into the surgery room the other day. He had no fear and for the first time in my life I knew Candice and I had raised him to think positively and to not have that deep fear inside his body.
There are so many things I wish to say but cannot find the words. Most important of them all, our son is on his way to recovery and has one more round of Chemotherapy on our list of things to do. It will be coming to a slow crawl soon and hopefully he will be back in school shortly. I know that is what he misses most of all. This is what makes a boy feel like a boy and thrive. God bless all of our family supporters! We have been touched by many different kinds of people and some were to be expected and some were just a very nice surprise in our process. Thank you all. :)
