Surgery Scheduled!!!

Today we met with the surgeon and we have surgery scheduled for Friday May 13th, 2011.  The surgeon is very positive about being able to remove all the cancer at that time.  Since some of the cancer is down in the muscle he will have to remove part of the muscle and stitch it back up which he said will heal and re-grow.  It will not affect any of his vision or eye growth or movement as he grows.....which is AWESOME!!! He will have a scar about an inch long next to his eye but we will take a scar any day!!! Thank you again for everyone's continuous prayers and support.  We are very thankful for all of the people who have included John Michael on their prayer list at their church.  Prayer is so powerful!!! I will update everyone again after John Michael's surgery next week.  It will be outpatient but an all day event.  The surgery will take approximately an hour and a half.  The rest is just preparation and recovery. Also big sister is doing GREAT!!! She knows brother has a boo-boo and it's going to get fixed but being 3 she still doesn't understand.  She has loved staying with family and friends during our Riley visits.  I think she is getting spoiled by all of this.....HAHAHA!!! We are so thankful to have such caring family and friends to be there for us.  Hopefully this surgery will be the last thing we have to do to cure John Michael besides the scans every 3 months to make sure it is gone and STAYS GONE! Miranda has done very well and soon our life will be back on our daily routine!!! I feel like we have been to the hospital like every other day for the last month.....hahaha!!!! Hope everyone is dong GREAT and will update everyone soon!
