*Update on Scott and a BIG Thank You!*

With everything that has been going on I completely forgot to let everyone know how Scott's doing! He had a tumor removed from his back last Friday that has been there for about 1 1/2 years but recently got bigger. At the time of removal it was about the size of a marble. They removed it at our family dr office and wow that was a sight to see. If you get queasy you should skip reading the next part :) They cut open his tumor and when they did some fluid and white "stuff" that looked like packing peanuts came out. As the dr opened up the tumor she found more and more of this white matter. She was able to remove all of the tumor and ended up using some dissolvable sutures since it was a bit deeper than she originally thought. The whole procedure took about 40 min and Scott even fell asleep while they were doing it!!! Silly boy!!! He can sleep through anything I swear! They have sent all of the tumor to the lab for them to test it and see what it is. We go back in on the 19th to go over the results with the dr. It is healing great and has no signs of infection. All i can say at this point is what a year this has been for us! Everything has ended up working out (like Scott ALWAYS tells me it will!) but that's not to say it hasn't been hard. It just goes to show us how we can get through anything together and the help and support of our family is immeasurable! We are so grateful to have such wonderful people around us that care about us unconditionally. For this, we would like to tell each of you...
