Twas the night before surgery....

Twas the night before surgery, and we need a dancer, the test has come back, and there is NO CANCER !!!!!!! YAAAAY !!!!
Yes, the pathology (biopsy) finally came back, and there doesn't appear to be any cancer at all !!! We may be looking at something called 'fibromatosis', which is apparently a cluster of tumors which are normally benign ! Needless to say, we're all breathing a little easier tonight !! Surgery is set for sometime tomorrow...not sure exactly what time, it's not a normal surgery day for his doctor, so they are just going to fit him in when there is an OR open. Right now, the doctor's biggest concerns are to get the entire mass out, and dealing with the spleen. He's still concerned about the bleeding which may be involved, but we know that faith can and has moved mountains, we're not worried !! We just need to get Shelby on the other side of this last hurdle, and then we'll be on the road to recovery !!! For tonight, he's kinda miserable...they've given him that pre-surgery stuff to drink, and it's making him terribly nauseous.
Please remember to say a prayer for him and his surgeon tomorrow, and we'll be sure to let you know when the surgery is over !!!!
Thank you all so much for your love and support, you are all being prayed for daily as well !!!!
