A big month....

 Well  the month of July has so much to coming up... On July 5, 2012 my hubby's got to have a pre-admission testing for his surgery on July 12, 2012....Before the surgery my hubby has to have a kidney stent put in on the 9th of July.. 

 Looks similar to the ones above.. It will go from his kidney to his bladder.....  This is have to stay in until probably a week or two after his surgery.  Then they will go in and remove it...

We are both nervous because it's a surgery and excited because it's the start of a healthier husband... I'm so blessed to have such a great husband and he was known at work as the machine... and just like a regular machine needing some oil and some tweaks and repair so does my hubby........
The surgery my husband is having done is a new procedure it's relatively new...He will have to be monitored closely for the next 5 years to ensure that the cancer comes back.   The procedure is called a Cryoablation it's where they freeze and thaw and repeat the process until the cancer cells are dead... the tumor remains in the kidney but the cancer is dead... It saves the kidney from having to be removed.... If the cancer does come back they will do a procedure called a Wedge...

The video below shows what a Cryoablation is and how it's done... This is NOT my hubby's kidney..

My hubby has his surgery on July 12. 2012 and if all goes well will only have to spend one night in the hospital.  Thank you for all your prayers.. We greatly appreciate each and every one of them.

Please remember to love your family everyday as you are not promised the next....

God Bless
