Meanwhile, Dillon's only concern is healing. He is going to be busy this next week with physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. He is frustrated that he cannot talk, but he will be talkin' our ears off in no time. We all had a very exhausting day. Thank you everyone for your cards, drawings, prayers, and kind words. We sincerely appreciate everyone's help.

Surgery
Dillon went in for his second surgery this morning. Dr. Kestle biopsied a secondary spot in his cerebellum, and it came back normal, meaning there was no cancer in this other spot. There is a third spot we are watching that was noticed on his MRI. During surgery, another surgeon implanted a porta-cath in Dillon's chest. This is a more permanent IV that will stay in place so he can have chemo, blood draws, and IV fluid without getting poked in the arms and hands. Dr. Bruggers will be Dillon's oncologist (cancer doctor). She will decide our next steps regarding treatment.
