Just a quick update to let you know that Ray is recovering well at home from the op.
He's even doing small jobs like hanging out clothes, washing up and sweeping the floor - who needs a housecleaner? (seriously - if you know Ray you'll know you can't stop him).
We also have an appointment next Thursday 12th March to find out the biopsy results from the tumor they removed from his colon and the what, how and when for the chemo treatments.
We'll keep you posted.
Love Marg
P.S. Ray says he got out of hospital early because he was being too much of a troublemaker - trying to help the cleaners in the morning do their work and giving the nurses a hard time!

Hi Ray & family
I'm believing that on the 12th the doc is going to say 'Its a miracle' there is no trace of cancer!
The Ollerton family are in my prayers & thoughts continually.
regards & love

Hi, Ray,

I hope this time the Blogmaster accepts my comments! Last time he didn't!! But it's been good to follow your progress, especially when the reports of your progress are so encouraging at this stage. Fancy coming home so early!

Those of us Chaplains from the Lalor/Greensborough/Norris Bank group met for breakfast the week of your op and are holding you in prayer. It's great that the enforced rest has given you some space for reflection, in between hanging out the washing. Continue to rest in the Lord, as I know you are doing.

You seem to be tackling the whole affair with poise, courage and good humour. Plese continue with your good spirits and energy. All at MEC are concerned with your progress. Love to Marg and the girls. Would love to ring or drop in, but don't want to be a burden. Let me know if I can ring.

You are constantly in our thoughts - you are definitely one of life's 'good guys'.
We couldn't have done without you when Rhett died and you've always been a wonderful support and friend to us all.
Sending you lots of 'healing hugs'
