We first off want to thank each and everyone of you for the prayers this past week. They have definitely been felt!! We just got back from seeing the Orthopedic Surgeon a little while ago, and we got the results of the MRI and where we are going to have to go from here. The tumor is pretty good size, and it has made a large hole in Jett's bone. The surgeons are going to be going in on the day after Christmas (the 26th) to take a biopsy and immediately send it to the pathologist, if the biopsy comes back okay than they will continue on with the surgery, which consists of completely removing the tumor and scraping it out of the bone, and than bone grafting the hole in his bone. The surgeons will than wrap it in a cast and put on what is called a Spica cast, which is going to completely keep him from moving for at least 6 weeks. Dr. Wertz says that he thinks the tumor is benign (Praise The Lord!) but instead of it being filled with a liquid, it is filled with some sort of fatty substance that is rarely seen on a child at this age. The Dr. is not exactly sure what the tumor is filled with and that is why we have to wait and see what the pathologist says before they continue on with the operation. We know that the Lord is in control, and He is the master Physician, (right Anna!)~ Please just continue to pray for us and especially for Jett, and I will let you know if we hear something else! We love you all so much, and you have all truly been blessings in our lives!
