Jon was taken into surgery at 3:30 and was finished by 5pm. The procedure went extremely well and Jon feels great. Both the nurse and doctor said it was one of the smoothest embolizations they have performed. Dr. Goswami just told us that they got 75% of the large tumor and he would like to go back into the right lobe next month to finish it off and then do the left lobe in September.

They told Jon to expect some nausea by tomorrow morning and maybe some cramping pain in his liver. He also should expect some fatigue for at least a few days to a few weeks. Dr Goswami just reinforced with Jon that he needs all his meds as prescribed and not wait until his symptoms get bad. We'll see how that goes!

Levi, Elizabeth, Kelsey and Kyle are all here for moral support and to give Jon and I plenty of hugs. Jon has to stay horizontal until 8:00pm tonight, then he's supposed to slowly start moving around. He will have a CT scan in the morning to make sure that the chemo has been distributed to the appropriate places in his liver. We expect him to be out by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks to everyone for your prayer, positive thoughts, phone calls, emails and all around support!
