Today was supposed to bring answers. It hasn't
Josiah was scheduled for surgery at 2pm to get the medicine button implanted, have a spinal tap (take a sampling of spinal fluid as a test for cancer cell activity in the brain) and receive his first dose of chemo.
At 645 the doctor came to Josiah's room and told us it wasn't going to happen today, they had complications with a procedure earlier in the day that put them behind.
The toughest part was that he couldn't eat after midnight in preparation for the procedure. He tore through a PBJ sandwich, a brownie, peas and cantaloupe as soon as we got the all clear.
He's been rescheduled for 230pm tomorrow.
We close today with no new answers from yesterday's testing. Last night the Dr came by to walk us through the PET scan which confirmed tumors in the nasal area, throat and upper chest. The initial results indicate no tumors in the abdomen or testicles.
Our little trooper is hanging in there. Below he's putting stickers on the Highlights magazine from Grandma Nancy
Josiah is such an amazing boy! Praying for all of you! Love, the Jays
