About this Meal Train page

Last year, Mike was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer and has been in a year long treatment plan of chemotherapy and radiation. The next step in the plan is for Mike to have surgery. His surgery is scheduled for January 6th at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids. Most likely he will be hospitalized for 4 days if all goes well. Then it will be about 6 weeks of recovery where he will not be able to lift more than 10 pounds and as long as he is on pain medication he cannot drive. Mike will have a short-term ileostomy bag which will be surgically removed about 3 months after the surgery on 1/6/22. Kristi and Mike have a busy household of 4 children who are all in school and have extracurricular activities. Meal support will be a tremendous help to their family. They appreciate your love and support in this very generous, tangible and delicious way! Thank you!
