Tim is in surgery at Mac right now. The tumor is around his spinal cord. The surgery is supposed to be very lengthy and very risky PLEASE PRAY HARD.
Update: Thursday morning.
A bed ended up being available at Mac, so they went there instead. Tim had his MRI this morning. I haven't heard anything else yet
Update: Wednesday evening.
Some time this afternoon they went to Mac. We just got a text from Ken that says that Tim has an adrenaline secreting tumor that is most likely malignant. They are told that he has an excellent prognosis. They are headed to sick kids in Toronto. There wasn't much other details so that's all I can say for now. We are assuming that they are going to Toronto for surgery.
I just got another text... Because the tumor is secreting adrenaline, he is not eating or sleeping. They are not sure it if is attached to his spine, but Ken suspects that it it as he is no longer moving his toes when you tickle his feet. He says that they are going to sick kids in Toronto after waiting a whole day for a bed at Mac. He needs an MRI and a full workup to see how best to treat it. About 2 weeks ago they brought him to the ER at MAC and that's when they first saw this tumor when they brought him in then, and the staff say that he should have had an MRI when they first saw it...( I'm thinking they must still be in Cambridge they way that he worded that those at Mac are idiots) Apparently the mass grew from 2.3cm to 3cm in 12 days.
That's all I have for now...please keep them all in your prayers!
Update: Wednesday morning: Last night I spoke to Shauna, Tim was in the middle of getting chest x-rays, and he is now on Morphine for the pain. They were trying to get his transferred to Mac ( they were in Cambridge) for an MRI. Please keep up your prayers!
Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to put out a prayer request for a baby of good friends of our, little Timothy. He's the little guy I babysit twice a week with his sister.
Anyways, the last 3 weeks he has not been himself and has been doing a lot of crying....ok, screaming, and seems to be in pain. So he has now been admitted, and they are running all sorts of tests to see what is wrong, and he is also on IV.
So please pray for Tim, that he's not in too much pain. Please pray for Ken and Shauna, that they may have the strength and courage to get through this, and also please pray for the doctors that they may figure out what is wrong!
