Surgery day...

This morning Matt had his surgery to remove his port. He is doing wonderful! We were discharged from the hospital by lunch. He was very hungry so we stopped at IHOP on the way home so he could eat a large meal. When we got home, we both took a nice long nap because we had been up since 0345am. Matt's parents picked the boys up from the babysitters house and took them to swim lessons. They did awesome!! They learned how to dive in the pool and touch the bottom. Even Logan (our 2 year old) can do it. Matt's parents are spending the night at our house to help watch the kids. Matt and I are at my parents house because he couldn't handle the kids jumping all over him. He will have to keep his dressing on for 3 days then he will be unrestricted. The surgeon said start out slow with working out and be smart about what he does, but he will be ready to start retraining for active duty when he returns back to work. It feels so good to finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Matt has been such a trouper throughout everything and I am ready for him to not have to do any other cancer related treatments again once he finishes radiation. Thank you so very much for all of your love, support, and most importantly your prayers throughout all of this.
