All the specialists have been coordinated for Caleb’s biopsy. Friday March 21st at 11am Caleb will get prepped and put under before the MIR at noon. Afterwards he will proceed to surgery for the biopsy where the anesthesiologist will keep him under while the oncology surgeon will have access to a CAT scan, ultra-sound tech, and surgical staff in order to get the samples needed. If all goes as planned We will see Caleb again in recovery later that afternoon. After the general anesthesia wears off we expect to take him home that evening.

Please pray that:

1) We can keep Caleb hydrated the day before as he can’t eat or drink for 8 hours before the procedure.

2) All of the many healthcare professionals are at the top of their game.

3) They find good samples with minimal impact to Caleb’s body.

4) Caleb will recover without unnecessary discomfort, pain, or long term side effects.

5) Rene and Joe will get what we need in order to help Caleb in recovery.

Not really, no. He is in some discomfort from the fluid in his abdomen but is not in pain. He is very tired and sleeps a lot more but he continues to enjoy his crafts, puzzles, and Legos. He does not express fear, sadness and or any other forms of concern about his situation. He is still very content.
