Daily Progress

Every day is an improvement. Bobby has been able to get out of the house more. Today, he went to Julie's Geography Bee. She made it to Round 3. He enjoyed getting to go and see her. We did some work around the house and then had to take Julie to apply for her passport. She is going to Canada with her French class. We picked her up from school and after the passport, we went to Red Lobster for lunch. Bobby's cousin Debbie works there so we always ask for her when we go. She was surprised to see Bobby--having only heard about his surgery a few days ago. Lunch was good--but Bobby had some trouble eating it. He ate more than I did so it must have tasted REALLY GOOD! He is eating more and more, and it still hurts...but not as much. His talking is normal--except when he has just eaten.

The scars are getting much better. The one by his ear is barely visible. If you didn't know it was there, it wouldn't catch your attention. The one on his cheek looks much better now that 1/2 of the stitches are out. When the rest of the stitches come out, it will continue to look better! He has feeling over most of it, just not around his earlobe. That may or may not come back.

We made the appointment with the oncologist in about 2 weeks. We will be able to get alot of our questions answered and be able to find out what else might be beneficial to help prevent recurrence of the Melanoma. Unfortunately, this type can return. (More on this later)

I'll find some pictures to post...and call it a night. Thanks for signing the guestbook...it is fun to see who has been here! We hope all is well with each of you...

Doesn't he look great?

Up close...a perfect stitch!

We trimmed a few of the tails...he could see them out of his eyes.
