Mig is one of the bravest kids I know. This little man has faced surgeries every year for the past three years to remove a mouth growth that keeps coming back.
We have found out that the growths are caused by a virus strand and that he was old enough this time to try a vaccine to help build his immunity against the virus. He took the shot like a champ!
After each surgery we hold our breaths waiting for the biopsy results. Each time we have been told that, though the chances are small, this virus does cause cancer and so we wait, praying for a clean biopsy.
Mig's latest surgery was on the morning of February 20th. He was not scared or anxious. He was just a little discouraged that the growth had come back. The surgery went well and the doctor is hopeful that she got it all. On February 24th we got the results back with the news we were hoping for:
The biopsy was clean!
Now we are praying that his body will fight off any virus left and that he will not have any more growths appear.
