Update to trip to Little Rock, Ark

Hi folks,
Just got a call from Christy and she said Dr. Al Mefty's office called and said they have changed the MRI to Monday and we will see Dr. Al Mefty on Tuesday and surgery still on Wed. He did receive the tissue slides from Vanderbilt and it looks like they have not been stained so Dr. Al Mefty is going to try and stain them and see if it shows it is a Chondro Sarcoma or not. We are still a little confused about this, it is my understanding that the Chondro Sarcoma is still a type of Chordoma but Dr. Al Mefty told Christy if this is the case it will be easier to treat. Will keep you updated. Thanks for the many prayers being lifted up for our little man and our family, we appreciate every one of them.

Little Hayden and family,
I'm a friend of Brooke's and have followed your journey... I was so pleased to see this blog was created so I could follow him even more... Brooke gave me and other co-workers a picture of Hayden that hung in my office for a couple of school years... His blue eyes are so full of life...
My family and I will be thinking of you all... and wish you the best.
