This kid is Superman like with his recovery last year so I bet he takes care of this to. Get will Sam and take care of yourself!!!
Posted on the Caring Bridge Web page
With all the focus on Sam's heart and his lifting going so well, we were not really focusing on Sam's left calf hurting him. We just kept icing and riding the bike instead of running. Sam called me the other day and said it just wouldn't get better and asked if I would take him in to get it checked out. Through x-ray, ultra-sound and mri the doctors came in and said 'well Sam, I guess with you it's never easy'.......They found a tumor in his left calf. We have been at Doctor appointments Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Mon, and have another appointment Thursday at 5:00pm.
So I will tell you what we have been told.....His bone looks good, it is a very low chance of being cancer, it does not appear to be made up of blood vessels, the tumor is soft tissue in the center of his left calf and is causing the pain and will have to be removed. Before they will do anything they have to do more test to find out what it is. They are concerned about the location against three major blood vessels. Basically we are not sure what is next but I am updating the page with this information to ask for your prayers again. Sam left the doctors office discouraged and even made a comment 'maybe God doesn't want me to play football'. We have talked and he knows that is not true, but as you can imagine, he is discouraged right know. He will be receiving a blessing this week to help in his recovery. We would like to thank you all again for your prayers and, if you don't mind, we would like to ask for more.
