Well, he has been home for a little over a week and it has been smoother than expected. The "new" normal is really become kinda normal. Skin graphs and his leg are healing great. he is able to swallow but still has his PEG so, he'll enjoy a glass of ice water and loves that treat. The Dr.'s want to keep the PEG and Trach in until all radiation is done. He starts 6-8 weeks of radiation next week. (5 weeks after surgery). The results from the actual operation were exciting as the lymph nodes were clear and so we are shooting for a possible cure here! I am not sure what to expect from radiation. I know it is every day (mon-fri) for the next several weeks and I just hope that the new tissue and flaps survive it all. We have been extremely fortunate at his healing so far and hope it continues. It is good to read everyone's posts and get tips from other posts. Thanks again!!
