Wednesday July, 18th Andrew headed in for his 2nd surgery. We got to UC Davis at the lovely time of 5:30 am. They started surgery at 7:30. It took about 3hours for the to complete the surgery. The oncologist removed a large margin around the place of Andrew's tumor (which had been removed in July). The plastic surgeon had to do a skin graph on his knee, so he has a large spot on his hip where skin was removed. The oncologist is hoping that he was able to remove all the cancer cells that were in his knee. We will have the final results next week, but our pediatric oncologist is hopeful that he can get a preliminary report by Friday. After hanging out in the OR for a while we got transferred to the pediatric floor for the evening. It was great to have family and friends visit us. Andrew has a giant splint on his whole leg and his hip has a dressing on it from the skin graph. He did well the first night even though he was very uncomfortable. My sister stayed the night with me, so Andy could spend some time with Luke and Alllie.
