Delay, but we are in....

Well Austin is back there but they didn't take him back for until a little after one. He played for hours and did so well. Then a crew came in. Patel, Patsy, Dr. Dowski, nurses and Austin at first was fine but then they decided to access him which the nurses thought they would not do. So Patel came and did it. Without numbing cream. So yes he screamed but then Aunt Amanda put wiggles on and that settled him some. He then fell asleep. He stayed asleep when they took him back.

Dr. Dowski sat down and talked to me about where the tumor was and that it was in a place that was hard to get and depending on if it has spread would tell him if he could remove what he can. That is the goal to get out what we can. He said I goes up his stomach into his chest. Laying next to the spine. He will be in ICU for 5 to 7 days. They will have to push down his diaphragm so it could cause him to later have some trouble with breathing. All in all he said the surgery is very risky. I know he is in good hands. We have only gotten one update that so far everything is going as planned.

I will update again later.
