Max made it out of surgery like a champ. Surgeons said that everything went as planned, no complications, removed a tumor the size of a small satsuma orange. It seemed to be contained and not stuck to any other organs, vessels or important stuff, no need for blood transfusions. Pathology has the tumor and we may know more about the neuroblastoma's makeup by Friday. They had time to put the port in his chest and take adequate biopsies of the bone marrow for further testing. They were already able to take out his breathing tube and we were able to bypass ICU. We have a new room at Children's on the Giraffe wing, 3rd Floor, Room 3017. He is welcome to have visitors tomorrow and is encouraged to get up, move, and play as much as possible.
