Thoughts and prayers going out to baby Alex!

Booboo'smommy · 02-07-2009, 01:39 AM

Thank you so much everyone... I only managed to speak with the Doctor late in the evening b/c he was in between surgeries all day...At least that's what I've been told... They let me know he has a deploic dermoyd tumor which they don't think it's cancerous and that it will need surgery to remove it... Fortunately the MRI showed that it didn't made it's way through the skull so that was brilliant news...I will speak with the doc. soon and let you know more details...
I have such a busy day today but will come back in the evening to update and to answer my PM's...THANKS EVERYONE...I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, PRAYERS AND ENCOURAGEMENT...THANK YOU...Will update soon Maria

Baby Alex sends each and every one of you thousands of kisses!

IluvLucy · 02-07-2009, 04:40 AM

I'm so glad you were finally able to find out what's going on! From what I read, it sounds like the tumor is just under the skin, not imbedded, is that right? If I'm reading right, it sounds like putting him under just long enough to excise it, kind of like a cyst.

That is great news! I'm so happy for you Maria. I'll continue to pray for little Alex that this will soon all be a distant memory.

bettyeanne · 02-07-2009, 04:41 AM

Thank you so much for the update! I know that it may sound bad, but this sounds like pretty good news. I will be praying that it's just a simple thing to remove and that little Alex will just bounce back quickly. God bless you all.

Mom to Hot Rod · 02-07-2009, 05:09 AM

Maria, just seeing. We're sending our prayers for little Alex. At least now you have some information and the next step can be taken. I will keep the prayers and good thoughts coming from here. Hugs to you and your family.

Morkie4 · 02-07-2009, 05:34 AM

I am soooooo sorry to hear about Alex........keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers..........sending positive thoughts that you will get to the bottom of this soon!! Not knowing can be sooooo frustrating!!!!

Patti · 02-07-2009, 06:23 AM

I am glad you were able to get some answers. I will continue to keep Alex in my prayers!

Connie · 02-07-2009, 07:27 AM

I'm so glad you finally got the info you have been waiting for, and it sounds good...in that it's not going to be to complicated to remove and that it isn't cancer. Gosh, I feel relieved. I've been thinking of you so much. Little Alex will bounce back quickly after having that removed. Babies always heal so quickly. They say it's because they don't have that fear that us adults have. I'll continue prayers for you and Alex. I'm so glad you got some answers!

yorkiesmiles · 02-07-2009, 04:34 PM

Maria, I am so glad that you have been given some answers. I hope this brings you a bit of peace to know what you are dealing with. I continue to pray for your family.

chattiesmom · 02-07-2009, 06:44 PM

I will continue to keep little Alex and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. It is a good thing that you are finally learning the health issues you are dealing with. Hopefully the doctors will be able to get Alex all fixed up in the very near future and you can resume your normal life.

wemple2 · 02-15-2009, 11:31 AM

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Alex.

Spicee08 · 02-15-2009, 12:24 PM

I just read this thread and wanted to post a reply to say how sad, then happy I am for you. My son had to have surgery at 3 weeks old. Going thru the symptoms, diagnosis and solution was the most emotionally, mentally and physically draining experience I have ever had in my life. Fortunately he didn't require any additional medical and he was fine. But I was a wreck going thru it all. I am glad that you finally have some of the answers you need. Hopefully, this will give you some time to rejuvenate yourself so you don't get sick as well. I will add you and your wonderful baby boy in my prayers. Take good care of yourself and Alex
