Biopsy Day

Hello everyone,
We're at the University of Minn. Hospital in the recovery room with Braxton. He went in to surgery at around 11:45. His surgeon, Dr. Clohisy, is exploring the "spot" on Braxton's right arm (his right distal humerus). The spot is about the size of an elongated quarter and is on the bone and just under the surface of the bone. They took a sample which left a small hole in the bone. Braxton will have to avoid baseball playing and golfing for a few weeks to avoid fracture. The sample has been sent away and we should get a call from Dr. Clohisy on tuesday-ish. Braxton is waking up well. No nausea so far, just tired. He'll get moved to another awake/recovery room til he is strong enough to go home. Thankyou, all, for your prayers for Braxton's treatment and recovery. He will be home til monday then will be back at the U of M for his last chemo treatment!! More later...
