Yall,ve been a great help and it's showing. Just got a halftime update. They think they,ve exercized the demon and are starting the long process of putting him back together, just a little lighter in weight.

It's quite obvious that the power of your thoughts and prayers have worked. It's all been much more positive than we thought. Still not out of the dark. Got a few more hours and then the lengthy recovery.

I've miised numerous calls today. Thanks for all your concerns. I'll return the calls tomorrow as time allows. CK

My dad was trained in surgery and always said, "We cut and God heals." Time for the big fellow to take over and mend up the wounds. Glad to hear they are positive about the clean out.

I believe your dad is tough as a south Texas cotontail, don't think a flesh wound to the neck is gonna phase him.

FINAL UPDATE: Dad made it through surgery in about 5 1/2 hours. I got to see him and he was awake but not really coherent. The prognosis is good so far. Had to send some biopsies(sp) off to check a few nodes. The grueling details are that he will no longer be eating chipotle sauce, Tecate beer or any of that stuff he used to deem necessary for survival. This Archer will be living without a stomach. They did save the entire esaphagus and attached straight to the intestine. They say he'll live a mostly normal life like this but will need to eat often and the meals will be soft. Not a bad trade off for a few more years around camp with us.

Thanks again for all your continued support. You guys sure have helped to get us through all this. Good night! CK

Don't get on the computer as much as I used to and just came on this thread.

Good Lord Gary!  I'm glad things have turned out well for you.  Hoping you have swift and thorough recovery.

I'm looking forward to trailing more stuck hogs with you and hope to see you at the next Sweat.

Praise God for bringing him through, and allowing his family and us to enjoy him a bit longer. I know I treasure every year I still have my dad here with me.

I don't suppose he'd appreciate my offering to trade him a box of cream o'wheat for a six-pack, eh?  :saywhat:  

Didn't think so. I will go flog myself now.  :knothead:

That's great news my friend!
God is good indeed!!!! What a blessing !
I went thru the same (almost) with my Dad a few years ago, he's gone now but at least the cancer didnt get him. Sounds like "Pop's" is a fighter also.
God Bless!!!!

Hallelujah! Good thing to read this morning bro. Very sorry they had to go so drastic, but thrilled with the bright outlook.

Alright Gary, when we sit on the porch, I'll drink the dressed tecate and tell you how good it is...you can have milk   ;)  I love you, miss you, and may God continue to bless and heal you.
