On July 25th, Martin had an irregular lymph node in his neck removed. We are pleased that this proved to be benign, and put him back on track to be scheduled for the liver re-section.
That is now scheduled for this Friday, August 8.
Martin will be in surgery most of the day. He will be held in intensive care for a minimum of two days and will remain in the UW Medical Center for a total of at least 5 or 6 days.
His recovery time at home is likely to be a minimum of six weeks after this Friday. He has a good surgeon and we hope for a full recovery.
Presently, Martin is "balancing" rest, pain management, diet, and a little light exercise.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
We'll post updates here when we have news.

Oh Martin!
Be strong! We're all thinking about you and missing you. It's tough to save the world without our long-range team leader but we're doing our best. You're going to kick this thing in the tail.
Much Love,
