We received a call from the surgery department around 9:45 am that the surgery was completed, they were able to remove all of the mass and that the doctor would be out soon to discuss the findings. Around 10:15 am here came Dr. Guzman with a big smile on his face. He was indeed able to remove all of the mass. He removed a small amount of muscle to make sure there were clean margins and the muscle did not look affected. He did have to shave some of the vertebrae, there was a small amount of blood supply coming from the spine but he was not overly concerned about that. Initial pathology did come back....NEGATIVE!!!! We, of course, have to wait for the final pathology report beginning of next week but by their assessment and the preliminary report it was not a tumor! GOD IS GOOD!!!! Thank you so much for your prayers, we are so blessed. Not only was the news wonderful, the surgery only lasted a couple of hours, he had minimal blood loss with no need for transfusions and he is already eating and playing. We just got settled in our room and the doctor said there is a possibility of coming home either Sunday or Monday depending on how he does. We cannot believe how well this day has gone and we know it is only because of all of the prayers and the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ!
