Stella's latest update!

Stella got a clean bill of health Monday! As we talked to the surgeon, Dr. Cashman, we couldn't help but tell that he was happy for her. Once again he told us that Stella is one in one hundred pancreas operations that he performs, that has as good of an outcome.

The mass was fiberistic in nature and according to Dr. Cashman, about the size of a plumb, apricot or golf ball... he said take your choice! I choose a golf ball because the others vary so much in size.

My sister Dianna stayed with us for a week, tending to our needs and caring for Stella. We can't thank her enough and don't know what we would have done without her. Thank you Dianna!!!

Stella is healing well but still feeling pretty tired and pretty sore. Dr. Cashman also told us that this is normal and then reiterated that she would have up and down days.

God is continuing to work in our lives though this experience and we Praise Him for His goodness, grace and mercy.

We feel so blessed to have family and friends who love and care for us. Its hard t imagine what we'd do without them...

Thanks again for encouragement, card and letters.

God Bless each and every one!

Love,

Paul and Stella
