Chad got his staples out today. Honestly, it looked better before they were removed. Now it's all scabby and red but hopefully that is normal. I've put a call into the doctor about his belly being swollen as well as the area that is still leaking (covered by the bandage).
The removal of the staples caused quite a bit of pain but God willing everything will heal smoothly. He really has to take it easy to make sure his belly doesn't suddenly POP open! Yikes! Don't mind all the tape residue, he's really not that dirty ha ha! I reckon he will be left with one massive scar.
I'll let everyone know what the doctor says when I hear back. Until then, rest, rest, rest!

This is the story of Chad's fight against Appendix Cancer. On January 7, 2015 Chad found out just how special he was when he was told that not only did he have Cancer but it was extremely rare and very aggressive. Chad has always taken life by storm - so why stop now? Some may have crumpled and fell but the soldier in him took over and he decided then and there he had an infinite number of reasons to kick Cancer's ass. The road will never be easy but he will fight - and he will win.
Thank you for keeping us up to date and please know that you and the family are still in my thoughts and prayers <3
