No Longer Glowing

Drew had an early start today. We were in the OR to remove the plaque by 7:30......the removal process took about 45 minutes and he's now resting back in his hospital room. I'll be bringing Drew back down to St. Jude on 3/9 for his next eye exam. Between now and then we're going to be on the lookout for any vision issues. At this time, we have to hope that the plaque does it's job while minimizing vision damage.

We can't tell you how excited we are to get home. Jack isn't feeling the best and this whole spend a week in the hospital is definatly exhausting. We're glad to have had spent this time with Drew but are excited to be home with our whole family.


Thanks for your continued thoughts, we really appreciate them!

We're so glad that everything is going so well. I'm sure everyone is excited to be home again. So glad that the plaque is done and looking forward to good reports again.

HEY DREWBUG and Mom and Dad. I am so glad this part of your life is done. You gotta do what you gotta do but, now you can move forward.
As you sit by the wayside and watch your son and all he is enduring it will never cease to amaze me how smart and strong your little boy is. He's tough all around. His endurance is a great sign. It takes that kind of endurance to break through this thing called Cancer. Hopefully this is the end. Time will tell some things and you will be in the forefront of our thoughts and prayers as you wait out this next three to four months. I am confident that the results will be what you are hopeing for.
All our Love
