Tuesday
Robert’s doctor has scheduled his surgery for Thursday 10:00 AM, we will be at Baylor, downtown Dallas in the Roberts Building. The surgery should last 3 to 6 hours. The doctor is going to take a piece of tongue and have it tested right then. When he gets the results he will know how much will have to be removed. Then the Doctor will then remove the lymph nodes, since the mass is putting pressure on Robert’s artery so the doctor will remove muscle and replace it with muscle on Robert’s booby, well he would probably want me to say peck, but I like saying booby. He will then remove a nerve from his neck and replace it with a nerve in his left leg. Robert may be up for visitors on Friday so if you plan to visit please plan on Friday or later. If you want to visit later than Saturday check this site to see if we have already headed home? Robert also asked PLEASE NO FLOWERS!!
Just donations***ok I added that on myself (Lisa Wood)
Robert took a load to Houston and should be home late tonight, driving the past couple of days has really helped out a lot, kept his mind busy. He has a dentist apt. tomorrow and then we will head to Sandi’s to spend the nite with her. Mother is going to watch my sweet little angel Oscar Meyer Olen Goodner. Thanks Mother and Benny that will take a load off knowing he is safe and happy. Grandpa Tucker is coming for the surgery and Mother and Benny have cut their trip to Port Aransas short and are also coming. I am so grateful. We are hoping to be home Monday or Tuesday, Robert will start his chemo and radiation Wed. the 24th. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers. We can not tell you how much we appreciate it and will keep the site updated.

Hey Dad! Sorry if you aren't up for visitors until Friday... you're stuck having me there bright and early thursday morning. I know you're scared as we all are, but you'll be up and wanting "peanuts and dr. pepper" in no time. :)
