Jimmy Ponder--The surgery is scheduled for 2-15-12 It will take about 12 hrs & he will be in icu for 2 to 3 days & after he is moved to a private room he will be there for 5 to 7 days. The PET scan was normal.
The reason for the trach is because they can't put a tube down his throat since they will be working in the mouth and his teeth will be wired together from top to bottom so he wont be able to eat, that's why he will have a feeding tube & will probably come home with both the trach & feeding tube.
If he has to have radiation after surgery, it can be done in Texarkana everyday for 6 wks.
We will have to go back to Dallas one day this week for him to have his teeth evaluated by a dentist that specializes in cancer patients. There is no one in Texarkana that does this.
We have a long road ahead of us. Doctor told Jimmy that it would be several months before he could go back to work. (Annie Pilley from a request made by Janet Ponder)

Good evening Everyone,
My dad just called to let me know that my mom, Alice Knight has been put in the hospital. Her heart is out of rhythm and they were getting ready to shock it and try to get it back into rhythm. Two years ago this last week she had open heart surgery to remove a tumor on her heart which was causing her heart to go out of rhythm. Her doctor said 75% of patients that have this type of surgery will have reoccurrences of heart going out of rhythm. Please pray for her and my dad as they are dealing with this. Thank you and love yall much.
