Covid 19 Day 62

During this whole time we've been dealing with an issue with Sam.  He has a tumor on his lower back.  He's been through a lot of testing and no one knows exactly what it is.  Surgery is set for Monday in Tampa.  We've been hampered by the virus but mainly because we were trying to use a doctor and hospital that our pediatrician recommended to us.  Let's just say it was not a good fit.  Maybe I'll tell the whole story one day but right now I'm just focused on Sam. 

  Sam has a deletion in his chromosomes that includes a deletion for a tumor inhibitor called an ING2.  We've known about it for 10 years and it's always been a source of worry.  I"m not a "positive speaker or a Name it claim it person" but right now I can't even go into all the details of Sam's situation and what all has been speculated upon by medical folks and us.  Unfortunately I looked up one thing....I should not have. 

Just pray that this tumor will be benign.  Unfortunately it is a tumor not a cyst as we had originally hoped. 

MOTHER'S DAY






Sam being so good with a mask







So please pray for Sam!  Pray he won't get any sickness from being in the hospital and that the surgery will go perfect and the tumor is benign.
