Mikey was moved today

| Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Mikey was moved today from Children's Medical Center to the rehab hospital, Our Children's House (OCH) at Baylor. It is in downtown Dallas and is dedicated to helping children rehab from all sorts of things. He was moved today around noon, and got his second ride in an ambulance. He thought it was cool and now Mom and I have each gotten to a ride with him in an ambulance.

He continues to work hard with his therapists and is making progress every day. When I think back to how he was just a week ago, I am truly amazed at what he is able to do, especially when you consider how much of his cord was compromised by the tumor. I am not sure how long he will be at OCR, but there will be a care meeting with his team on Friday, and should know more then.

We are still waiting on the pathology report. If anyone is looking for a field to go into, I would like to recommend pathology. They apparently could use some more help, since it takes so long to get a report back from them. The tumor board at Children's is meeting tomorrow morning and I think they will know more then. The pathologist will be attending the meeting as will all of the other doctors that are art of the team. They all sit down face to face and it allows the guy who actually saw the tumor and took it out to talk with the guy looking at it under the microscope. I am expecting to get some more information in the afternoon.

More updates as information becomes available.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers, please keep 'em coming.
