Thank You all for your thoughts. He's a tough little man, keeping a good outlook on his situation. Little buzzard tonight wants me to shave my head to see who has the best scars (mine brain surgery in 89---OK no smart remarks!)

Vince,

Your grandson and family will be in our prayers. God bless.
 
Wow... you have my prayers, Vince. Not going to be too pleasant when he wakes up, either; Very hard to see a kid go thru that, but at least they caught it and are dealing with it. Still doesn't make it easy, I know, but having the love and strength of his Grandpaw will help, and the pain WILL pass.

Hang tough man. If there is anything I can do let me know. I'm out on a job just outside of Oklahoma City right now, but let me know.

Little man's surgery went better than the others. They didn't have to remove as many teeth as previously thought (3 all together). He's a little swollen and bruised, but loving every minute (popsicles, ice cream, every body waiting on him hand and foot). Is actually not in any pain, tough kid. Still have the big one in his future (rebuild his eye socket that was eroded away from the tumor that was removed previously). Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Glad to hear the surgery went good and that he is not in pain. Hope everything goes good with the next surgery. Your family will be in our thoughts. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Good to hear things went well, he's young, and will grow up not really remembering it being any different if all goes well. Scary thing to deal with, but better than what it could be otherwise.
