update on danny

Hey all,
We went to UVA on Thursday and the last 2 days have been a whirlwind.  We got there at 10am and saw 4 doctors, only stopped long enough to get a diet coke and catch our breath.  We didn't get out of there til  4pm.  They all agree he should have a radical chest resection which is very involved.  It will require the cardiothorasic surgeon as well as the plastic surgeon.  They will be removing his chest muscle and taking possible the collar bone and some ribs, then move the muscle from his back to his chest and take a skin graft from his thigh to replace over his chest.  They expect it to take about 6-7 hours.  The Mayo clinic can't see us until the 26th of May and that just seems to long to wait.  The Cleveland Clinic is going to see us on Tuesday and if they are in agreement with UVA, we will go to UVA on Wednesday and have surgery on Thursday.  We got an awful lot of information in the last couple days, but we are still expecting miracles.  I see no reason why when they open him up and start testing margins that they find no cancer cells!  That is our prayer right now and we are believing, so I am asking you guys to help us with that prayer.  As Mommy would say "all things are possible with Jesus:)" 
Will keep you updated as we know more.   Best thing about going to the Cleveland Clinic is we get to visit with The Hocevars;)  
Love to all,
Trish and Danny
