9-24-2022 Surgery

 9-24-22

Surgery is set for Wednesday (9/28/22) at 12:30pm. Dr. Bob had a tumor specialist in Corvalis look at Ezzie's MRI and he thinks it looks more characteristic of chronic infection in the bone. There is parts of the bone that has died. This will possibly mean more surgeries, possible leg deformity, growth issues, etc. We will know if it's malignant (bad cancer) once things are sent to labs. She also has pain in other body parts. But right now, we are targeting the leg that we know has a mass/tumor. Labs from surgery will take about 72 hrs but Dr. Bob will send samples as he's operating as well. He said we have a long road ahead of us and this will be a big team effort. We will cross the chemo/radiation bridge if it's malignant. We will be staying at the hospital most likely for "a few nights." We need the obvious prayers for this journey, but we also need to make sure that Ezzie stays well and healthy until Wednesday and pre-op.
