My dad is still in surgery . . . probably until MIDNIGHT. They had to replace his front bottom jaw bone and his chin (flap). They were able to save his lip though which is great. He did have two additional node growths but the others were clear. He had a nerve severed in the dissection. They had to use the shoulder blade from his good arm so now both sides are comprimised. We are home . . . I don't know if I will ever sleep tonight. ICU will call only if there is a problem as he won't get there till after 1 in the morning . . . this night is unbelievable. Keep praying everyone . . . thank you . . . I can't believe how long this is taking . . .
