Update! Good news :)

We'll know more tomorrow, they did a CT Scan tonight. The Doctors think that it's 1 of 2 things.

1) Hairy Cell Leukemia

2) Lymphoma

I got to talk to Robby for about 5 minutes. He said that if it's leukemia, (his symptoms are very much like Hairy Cell Leukemia) they can start treatment on Wednesday and can take as little at 5 days or as many as 14 days to treat. It's a form of cancer that's not "curable" but can be put into remission!

Lymphoma is some sort of tumor Robby said it they might need treat for 3 months.

Either case, this looks very very treatable and the Doctor sounded very positive! Robby's Dad and family are very happy! Praise God!

Robby said he'll probably come home Tuesday.

Thank you for your prayers!!!

Yay! I'm praying that this will be used to glorify the Lord and grow your family closer to Him. Thankfully it sounds like a good prognosis.
Keep us updated.
