Update on Dawson

We went to the specialist today about Dawson's bump. I looked at the CT scan with the doctor who pointed out to me the area of the bump. It appears that there are a few separate masses located in the parotid gland (largest of the salivary glands). The doctor will do a biopsy on Tuesday. This means more sedation and more waiting, which you know I love!

Please keep us in your prayers. We are so overwhelmed by all that is happening. After the appointment today, my WONDERFUL in-laws took Dawson home for a nap, while I raced to radiation. During my treatment, I just lied there and cried. The good news is the radiation went by fast today because of so much on my mind.

Bless your heart! I'm sorry you have to deal with concerns about Dawson and a biopsy in the midst of your radiation. It's a tough time. We are all holding you and your family in prayer. Let me know if you want something on the prayer chain.

Love,

I'm so sorry that you have to go through more of the waiting game. It must be so hard. I continue to pray for you and think of you often.
Love you!

Oh my goodness; you do not deserve to have all this to deal with at once. You are in my thoughts; please let me know if we can be of help in any way. I am praying for you and Dawson, too.
