We are in a holding pattern. They did a PET scan and there are some nodes around his windpipe that came up. The thorasic surgeon said under normal circumstances he wouldn't biopsy at this time since they are still small but obviously they don't want to go ahead with the glossectomy if it has spread. Ken is having the biopsy on Tues. and we should get the results that day. If they are ok he will have surgery the following week.

Cheryl - how did you keep your iPad secure while in the hospital? Ken is concern when he is sleeping, etc. that someone will walk away with it.

Thanks!
