Tyler is scheduled for surgery tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00 am. Tyler's surgeon was not available to do the surgery until next Friday so another surgeon was asked to prevent Tyler from waiting any longer. The doctor will perform a thorascopy, which means he will remove the small spot from Tyler's lung and freeze the area while the tissue is taken to pathology to be checked to see if it is cancer. If it is not cancer, he will be sewn up and a week's recovery is expected. If the spot is cancerous, a thoracotomy will be performed. This is a much serious and involved surgery. The surgeon will actually remove part of his ribs and enter the lungs with his hands. He will feel around the lung for any small nodules. Evidently this is more precise than a chest ct scan. The recovery time will be more extensive. No news on what the treatment will be after he recovers from the surgery. The orthopedic surgeon has decided to postpone the surgery on his leg at this time.
Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Please take time to pray for Tyler tomorrow, ASK for healing and a successful surgery. Pray that his family feels HIS peace.
Stay close! Kim
