Surgery....

Surgery went well for Dalen today. The doctors placed his powerport (chemotherapy port) into his chest. This port will allow chemo to flow through his veins. This port is also used to draw blood for lab work and insert contrast during MRI. 

The doctor was able to place this port in the same place as Dalen's last one. It's just slightly underneath his left nipple. Which is why Dalen calls it his Third Nipple. Dalen is always ready to make everyone laugh. While we were in the waiting room for surgery, when asked who I was Dalen would always say "this is my sister not my mother". The nurses would looked so shocked because the paperwork indicate mother. As they went to change it the relationship, I had to jump in because he is laughing so hard. He is my funny man!

Surgery went very well and Dalen is at home resting. Of course there is pain , however he's doing very well. Dalen is just so amazing to me. He spirit is so uplifting. 

Dalen will start chemotherapy treatments this Monday, just two days before Christmas. 

Please continue to pray for Dalen
