James was able to escape the hospital yesterday afternoon! Woohoo! We were able to get settled and last night he finally got some sound sleep. A few more days of rest and he will be ready for visitors by mid week.

We are finding ourselves in as much shock with this diagnosis as we were when we found out April 2, 2012 that something really serious was wrong... There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the unknowns of this rare disease, although great comfort in knowing the mass is benign. We still have a lot of unanswered questions, that we can hopefully get answered in the coming weeks.

Have a great weekend! Love to all...

  6. Dear James, sydney and family,

    We heard about your difficult situation just last week and have been in contact with Greg. I unfortunately am "technically challenged" and only learned today how to respond to your blog :-)
    We have followed your challenges and were thrilled to hear that this tumor isn't cancerous - what
    a miracle! Things like this change us forever, and I'm sure that you feel each day is a gift. What
    we do in this life matters! May the Lord continue to bless you in your journey. You remain in our
    hearts and prayers.

    Love,
    Mike, Cristin & Strong kids
