Tumor

So Sam has had a lump on his back for about 6 months. It started out the size of a marble when we noticed it. It was a little tender but not a big deal. He kindof ignored it because we had so much else going on with Lexi's pregnancy/Birth, Christian's Surgery, his work etc. But it got big enough that it was uncomfortable to sleep on. It got to be about the size of a baseball and if he had done anything to tweak it, it would become the size of a softball. So he finally gave in and saw the Dr.

The regular Dr sent him to a specialist. And the specialist set up a surgery date (yesterday) They are hoping the tumor is just a fatty one and not spreading but they sent it to be biopsied to make sure.
When they got Sam opened up the tumor was deeper and a little bit bigger than they expected so it took a little longer than planned.

Also they decided to remove a lump off his pec too. They are hoping the same with this one but decided to remove it since he was there anyway this one was only the size of a quarter now but didn't want it to get any bigger.

Because they decided to remove the one on his pec too he had to be on his side which meant he could just have the propothol, he had to have general anesthesia. Being on his side during the surgery tweaked his neck so he's been a little more sore than normal.

 I labeled the tumor so they knew where to take it out.

All ready to go back

All done... 

It was supposed to take about 30 minutes to remove both but ended up taking almost an hour and a half. 

But I was very impressed with the hospital and staff.

 So now we just wait for the biopsies to come back and are praying it's not a cancerous tumors...
