Plus our day to day care from our wonderful daughter Sarai (our very own family Nurse). George is home now, and on a recovery plan for the next 2 to 3 months. ....encouraged by the good news the day he left the hospital this week that the biopsies taken confirmed the cancer had not spread to other parts of his body. The next steps will be to watch closely for signs of it returning, but no Chemo or radiation recommended. We were also able to be home in time to celebrate the life of our son Chris who died from stage 4 Prostate Cancer two years ago on September 13, 2015.</span></div><div class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><b class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="">Chris’ Memorial swing and tree with first year fall colors and growing tall and green by spring of year two.</span></b></div><div class="aolmail_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><b class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(71, 57, 209);" class="">Chris’ Art piece - Memory Box “All is Good” by artist Glenda Adkinson, EI/ICA Austin colleague.
