Our precious Josh had surgery this morning to remove a tumor growing into his cheek. He was so excited and so sweet to all of the wonderful nurses, doctors and staff at Mother Frances. We got up at 4 a.m. and he was ready!! Here he is in Pre-Op. He was so embarassed to take a picture because he only had on a gown and Spiderman underwear!
Here he is in Post-Op ... broke my heart to hear him trying to talk when he woke up ... he seemed so fragile and I just praised God that I have had healthy children. I cannot imagine the weight carried by mothers of children with severe illness.
Here is our room ... he just looked so tiny in that big bed! I crawled up with him because that bed was more comfortable than any other spot in the room and I just wanted to be really close to him (not that I could do anything medically to help him). The tumor was easily and completely removed - done, finished, yippee!!
Here is his big high five (Dame tu Cinco, Bryans)! He will have a swollen cheek for several days and look funny but will feel normal later today. God is so good and so faithful.
to my precious Josh - May the Lord bless you and keep you; and may His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace! We love you!!

So sorry Josh had to have surgery today! I had no idea - but I am thankful all went well. He looked so roughed up after the surgery, no fun. I think chocolate heals these kinds of things. I'm not a doctor, but I have done extensive research. Smooch!
I had no idea either! Was the tumor cancerous?? How is he doing now?? Praise the Lord he's on the path to healing; God is good.
For the record, Lisa Johnson is one of the funniest women I've ever known and she makes my heart smile.
bless his heart, and yours Shannon. I know it is always much harder on the mom! I'm so glad that everything is good. God is good. I hope y'all can enjoy the rest of the summer now with that behind you. _
