AFP levels

I forgot a very important point in the last post... we did the first test for the Alpha-Feta Protein levels post-surgery. They have decreased by more than 1/2 as of Sunday (and should have decreased another 1/2 as of today - but we aren't in the hospital, so we won't get them tested every five days) This will be part of the follow up in Colorado next week.

This is great news and is one indicator of a successful surgery and a cancer-free recovery.

As of right now, we are still in Indy awaiting chest tube removal and are not sure at this point when we will get on a plane.
