I Have Something to Tell You

That's what Sam said yesterday right before he fell asleep from the anaesthetic being administered before his hour and a half MRI. He woke up pretty groggy but was back to himself in a couple hours.

The bad news is that the MRI confirmed the Bone Scan results showing some sort of a lesion on or in his left tibia. Needless to say, it's not suppose to be there and we are on the path to getting it looked at and biopsied by an Orthopedic Oncologist. This all started with a simple limp and a complaint of pain by Sam. We were hoping that it was growing pains or even a fracture since he does play rough with his brother but after the x-ray, bone scan and MRI it appears to be something more complicated.

Whether it's an infection, or a tumor of some sort he's in for a bunch more time in hospitals and around doctors. Nicole and I are fairly freaked out about the whole thing and Sam and Dylan know that something is not quite right. We are all doing fine and have great support from friends and family.

I wasn't sure I could write about this and it has been kind of hard. We don't know everything yet but we are hoping for the best and have people looking for solutions on both coasts. I guess I will try to keep this blog updated with what we know when I have the energy to write. Maybe writing about this experience will be thereputic for me and provide interested readers with some useful information. That might be good.

Keep you fingers crossed for Sammy.
