Jacob Update

The doctor was able to get all of the growth off of his head.  He said that it looked like it was benign, but he took lots of samples of all the surrounding tissues just to make sure.  He said that it was eroding the bone by pushing on it, but it didn't go all the way through the skull and that it was not infecting to bone in any way.  We will get the results from the samples on January 30th, but all things look good right now.  Jacob is doing really good.  He has to stay in the hospital for a couple of days for pain management, but other than that he is fine.  He has a button that he pushes every time he hurts a little bit and it gives him a dose of Morphine, so right now he is not in any pain at all.  Thank you for all your prayers.
