IWK once more...Room 766

Surgery is scheduled for noon tomorrow.
Dr. Giaccomantonio is Ronan's surgeon again. He will be removing 3 little spots on the bottom of the left lung and then sending them for a biopsy. Until then, the doctors are guessing whether they were cancerous or scar tissue (from the pressure the abdominal swelling caused back in the Fall).
Ronan is feeling great and isn't nervous. He is looking forward to the Lego we promised him.
Keep the prayers and happy thoughts coming!! Team Ronan is awesome!

    Hi Ronan, Ali and Joe
    Good luck tomorrow. I think Ronan is right not to worry. He's been through worse than this surgery without missing a beat. Sending good thoughts from Canmore.
