Here is an overview of today's surgery:
Surgery went really well.
Josh is in the ICU overnight for observation.
90-95% of tumor gone.
The pathology report will back in a week regarding the type of tumor and further treatment.
Josh is awake and talking, tube is out, off ventilator, he was asking for a popsicle and the doctor finally gave in and gave him one. He insisted on having both "sticks"! (He is feeling no pain and is heavily medicated)
No sign of paralysis on his face.
The doctor said he roughed up the nerves a lot but none were destroyed.
He has a little trouble moving his head because they cut the muscle, but they will work with him.
The next 48 hours are critical as doctors watch for brain swelling, infection and any other complications.
The family is very grateful for all the fasting, praying and thoughts in Joshua's behalf.

I can't tell you how happy we are for you and Josh. Give him our love. We pray for a speedy recovery. It's amazing how quickly children can bounce back from something so traumatizing. The Lord is truly blessing you. We love you. Sherri & the Macdonald boys
