Drake's surgery

I am so happy to report that Drake's surgery was a success! During the 10-hour surgery at Boston Children's Hospital, the doctors were able to remove the ENTIRE tumor! The doctors had told Drake's parents that they wouldn't be able to get the whole tumor, but they did! Even though the doctors expected the surgery to go well, they didn't anticipate it would go that well. They also removed his lymph nodes and some scar tissue.

I just want to thank you, on behalf of Drake's family, for keeping him and them in your prayers! God has answered our prayers!

Here's a fairly recent picture of Drake. They kept his head shaved during his chemotherapy...


The doctors don't know quite yet if he will need radiation.... it all depends on how the pathology tests come back. Please continue to keep Drake in your prayers! Thanks.
