Expect the unexpected!

We are home from Vanderbilt after seeing Dr. Ginger Holt, an orthopedic oncologist. She showed us a cross section of the CT scan that showed his arm bones. His right upper arm bone is a connected circle--the left isn't. And there is indication of a tumor in that area.

She wants to do surgery (something that we had not expected at this time) to remove the tumor, clean up the bone, repair the bone with bone cement and perhaps a plate. She also plans to unfreeze his shoulder if possible.

Here's the REALLY unexpected...the surgery is scheduled for this Friday (Jan. 23). They will call us tomorrow (Jan.21) with the time.
