Bob Meyer update
Posted by Edie on January 17, 2013, 12:32 pm
I just received a call from Barb Meyer. Bob had his left kidney removed on Monday. Before removing the kidney the surgeons places a screen in an artery leading to the heart to catch any "debris". The surgery lasted many hours and unfortunately they discovered a stage three cancer. They don't think the cancer has progressed farther than the kidney but the tests have not come back yet. But Bob is showing signs of improvement already, they are removing the catheter today and thinking of moving him out of the ICU. He is on strong pain meds and Barb said he has no recollection of being up and walking with the nurses or sitting up in the chair. At one point he asked Barb what island he was on. LOL. Bob has always been a very strong man, working two or more jobs up this point in his life and he is 81. That strength is sure to be most helpful in his recovery. Barb wanted me to thank everyone for their concern and especially the prayers. Please continue to send them your well wishes. We all love Bob and Barb very much.
