Pathology reports coming in...

We heard today that the pathologists are strongly leaning toward a diagnosis. They believe Paul has what is called "malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor." The pathologists at Children's Hospital have not dealt with this before and have sent the slides off to a specialist at Emory to get her to verify their diagnosis. We should hopefully hear from her soon so we can move forward.

In the meantime, we have an appointment set up Thursday with a specialist at Children's. We will try to find out more about this kind of cancer before then so we can ask good questions. However, the internet is a scary place. We've found a few websites that seem to think this is quite curable, and we've found some sites that are terrifying us. Please pray this doctor (Dr. P) will be able to lead us well. Most likely, he will suggest we go to NY or Houston for a fairly major surgery. I'm ready to have a plan and tackle this thing.

I am scared, but I believe Paul will be healed.

    Stacy, nothing is bigger than God's love. continue to hold to the love of God which is strength. "The Lord is my strength and my shield." Peace of Christ be with you. Where ever you go, go with God, and find the best treatment program available.

    Psalm 139
    God knit Paul together in your womb. God knows every cell in Paul's body and loves him more than even a parent can imagine.

    He knows and loves you the same. Rest in His love and be assured that we are praying.
