I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that I just got off the phone with Debbie. Jack is doing well and is on medication to keep him calm and pain free. The surgery went an amazing 4 hours and 15 minutes. She didn't get a chance to talk to the surgeon since he had to go directly back into surgery. However, a vet student explained to her how the tumors came out in globs. When she asked Jack's normal vet about it, he said he takes that to mean that the tissue was dead and the radiation worked in killing the tumors.

Debbie is waiting to hear from the surgeon and learning more specifics about the surgery and what to expect. She will either place a comment here or e-mail me with all the details, and I will post it here as soon as I receive it.

Jack may have to stay there until Saturday depending on the decision made by the surgeon. Since Debbie and Jack have never been separated, this is going to be very difficult for both of them. I'm sure their reunion will be unmatched in joy and happiness.

Again, I want to thank all of you for making this possible.
