Hi everyone! Sorry for the long wait. The waiting has been hard from us too trying to coordinate everything! There was a hold up from having Northside mail Josiah's pathology slides (literal pieces of the tumor they took out in 2019) to MD Anderson in Houston. They are running their own pathology and testing on the tumor. They are suppose to arrive there on Monday. With that being the case, we are planning on flying out Tuesday the 24th, and his first appointment will be Wednesday the 25th with a neurosurgeon there to get a now third opinion on surgery. Depending on how that goes, he will have an appointment with a neuro-oncologist there on Monday the 30th. Any follow up appointments are up in the air depending on what they say. Prayer requests would be that the pathology slides arrive on Monday as expected, for safe travels, and as always and most importantly, for complete healing!!!!

In addition, he made the decision several weeks ago to be baptized at the church we have been attending since April. Today was his baptism, so that was a huge blessing <3
