Robert finally made it out of surgery around 7:00pm and he stayed in recovery until aroubd 9:30pm. They removed the squamous cell tissue in his neck and reconstructed the area with muscle tissue from his pectoral / shoulder area on the same side. He had quiet a bit of discomfort but that did not stop him from talking and even though he had plenty of pain medication he was pretty darn coherant. He was also drinking water through a straw that his lovely wife and nurse helped him with and overall considering what he went through he looked good. He has quiet a few stiches and we hope to have a photo to post sometime on Friday. Judy Judy was so relieved when they brought Robert up to his room, I hope they both get some really good rest tonight of course Robert's morphone drip will help him, let's hope Judy can lay down and clear her mind tonight. They do have internet access so all of you that want to comment feel free to do so as they can see your thoughts and prayers from their room:)
Thank God Robert had such awesome surgeons!

Great news!! Thanks Lisa for posting the update. What you are doing is very helpful and means so much to Judy and the whole family. Judy, hang in there girl friend -- everything is in His hands and is going to be just fine. I'll pass on the good news to Mom (Sharon). She drove up from TX w/ Gary (my son). We love you guys and pray for you and Robert daily. Greg
I hope you guys got some rest last night. If I ever go through anything like that, I want Sandi around. She is awesome in so many ways. Ya'll take care, my friends. Love ya!
Dear Robert and Judy,
Thank God the surgery went so well and that your spirits are so good. A good attitude will go along way in beating this thing into the ground. I know that you are all glad you are on the other side of surgery. We are praying for you from the moment I rise in the morning and all day. Sometimes I even get up in the middle of the night to pray. I know that when that happens you probably need it for pain. We are so proud of both of you and how you are handling this. I have many of my friends praying for you and for God's complete healing. I am so glad to hear Sandi has been so wonderful and there for you. I would not expect any thing less though. We love you guys and are there in spirit. Thank you so much for the update. Robert you look great considering what you have been through.
Hugs,
Terri, Carlos and Aleisha
