Look who I’m busting out of the hospital today! Just in time for Halloween 🖤 his primary doctor came today, and said his results looked amazing and he is healing wonderfully.

Daddy said just call him Forest from Lawless from now on.
He is also doing great if you can’t tell! I don’t have any updates except he is healing, feeling better every day and up walking! Yayyy us

We are just relaxing in the room, I forgot to check in today. Sorry about that. But everything is going great. They are all so impressed with how well he is doing, and how quick he is up and moving. A 10 hour surgery is no joke. His pain is already improving.

We are in a room! He is doing great, tired but doing good

It’s surgery dayyyyy! I will update everyone on here. That way I don’t get confused, and I appreciate everyone reaching out already this morning. They said anywhere between 8-10 hours. So it’s going to be a long day! Pray for us ❤️
Surgery time-8:05
**update** They are still working on his throat, the plastics team started his leg and are just waiting for their turn. Everything is going good so far!
**update** everything is going good, they have the tumor cut out… I’m waiting for his surgeon now, and plastics is taking over for their part of the surgery now.
**update** Okay Dr.Lango came, she said he is doing great! she finished her part about an hour ago. She said she can definitely see why he couldn’t swollow because of the radiation. But he should be 1000% better now. Now we wait about 2 more hours for plastics to do their part.
**update** okay Dr. Yu just left. So they had to take some of throat that was too tight, she said we will know more about his eating later after the test but it’s going to be way easier. But his surgery went excellent. And he is in recovery, so in about an hour I’ll get to see him!

Well, it definitely wasn’t what we wanted to hear. The Biopsy came back positive for cancer. She said it’s rare but sometimes radiation just doesn’t get it all. So our next plan is a laryngectomy. We don’t know when or anything yet. But, she said is postive she will get the rest out. Thank you so much for the continued prayers ans support.

It’s doctor day! We should have his results in, please keep us in your prayers and hope for good news ❤️

Update: Daddy is home! We have no results on any of the test yet. But, we are home.
Also, thank you for everyone that has helped us out. I know it’s asking a lot, but seriously it helps and takes one less thing for us to worry about.
