Surgery Day Has Arrived!

We have been working up to today's surgery for Bill for a long time now. He has something called Samter's Triad which includes severe allergies, nasal polyps and asthma. He has not been able to breathe through his nose in about 10 years. He hasn't been able to smell anything or taste anything either. Today is the surgery to remove the polyps that have all but taken over the inside of his head....it showed on the CT scan that they had even begun to grow through his cheek bone. Yikes! So pray for him this week as tries to get to the other side of this thing! I'll keep the posts coming for updates on how it all went today and how his recovery is going. Thanks and love you all!

Dear Bill and Cece - you'll be in our thoughts and prayers - what crazy thing to have happen - you'll hav to email us your Doctor who discovered all this - cause we've had nose and allergy issues in our family big time! Best of luck in recovery... Brig and Mark
