The good news: Kyle’s surgery went perfectly today. He was a brave, brave boy with his brother by his side every step of the way. The surgeon is extraordinary and did fabulous work in the OR. The nurses all doted over our boys, telling us what amazing kids they are, remarking on their obvious close twinship, and raving about what an excellent patient Kyle is. As far as Kyle and Owen are concerned, the lump is out and the whole ordeal is over and done with for good.
The other news: The rest of us, who know a bit more about these things than any seven year old ever should, now sit and wait for the pathology results.
Thank you to the best blog readers in the whole universe. Your thoughts and prayers, emails and comments were/are so appreciated!

O & K post-op:
Kyle back at home, playing with MorMor while waiting for dinner (Owen was swimming in the pool with Meera and Papi while I cooked Kyle’s requested meal— homemade macaroni and cheese):
So thankful everything went so well. Still sending good thoughts to
the universe and prayers that you receive good news with the biopsy.
Oh thank you so much for taking the time to write this post to keep us all in the loop. I’m so glad to hear that surgery went well and I am continuing to hope, pray and send positive vibes for you all during this period and for the pathology results. Kudos to Kyle for his bravery, and strength and to Owen for his bravery, strength and compassion to stand beside his brother literally and figuratively through this.
Take care and wishing you all a relaxing weekend.

thanks for the update….you were in my thoughts all day. “never a dull moment” sure does sum it up….it’s always something, eh??!!!
praying with you for the pathology report…
Glad to hear that it went well. We’ll keep praying.
Thank you for the update! Glad all went well today. Praying for good news from the pathology lab.
So glad to hear the surgery went well!! I’ll be thinking of your family as you wait for results.
I’m so glad you posted tonight. I was a little late on reading yesterday’s post. You all have some serious good vibes heading your way from Buffalo. XO
Angels being sent from the midwest. Prayers too.
So glad it went well today and hoping like mad you get good news soon. (How long does it take to get pathology results? Is it a day or two or weeks?)
Good vibes also coming from Denmark! Glad to hear it went well and crossing our fingers, toes and everything else that the pathology results are good.

Yay! Glad that part is over-now I will continue to pray and send lots of positive thoughts your way. What brave boys! And the picture of Kyle with his hand on Owen’s lap brought tears to my eyes. What sweet boys-their bond is remarkable!
Praying for good news! Hope you can try and relax and enjoy the weekend!
Sending lots of love and hope for good path results. Hope you know soon.
Glad Owen was able to be there to offer support to Kyle. You are correct, their twinship bond is amazing. However, I believe the great parenting skills you two possess truly helped to forge their bond. I’ll continue to send positive thoughts your way as you await the results.
Thinking good thoughts. Our (at the time) 12 month old had to be under general anesthesia and it’s a nightmare for parents the whole time. Hoping the biopsy is benign benign benign.
Oh…haven’t been reading lately and I am so glad that the surgery went well and Owen is home now. Sending positive vibes and prayers from across the ocean as well and hope that those results are NEGATIVO!
Hugs to K and O and little M, and big hugs to the whole family as we wait out this nail-biting time. Heaven is on your side, Haiti momma is looking on and looking out for her baby.
So glad to hear the procedure went well. Loving the pictures of K & O, so connected as always. Hoping that this process was the worst of the situation and that the summer brings nothing but adventures and joy.
So happy that Owen was allowed to be there for his brother. The picture of Kyle literally leaning on his brother’s leg brings tears to my eyes. God bless you and Brandon for not separating twins and for willing to adopt both. I cannot imagine how life would be for them if they had been separated. Love that twinny bond! ( I’ m a twin myself, and also have a set + 3 singletons!)
Praying for a clean path result.
Hoping all news is good news.
Gosh, just catching up on your blog and hearing the news. Glad K’s surgery went well. Praying for further good news.
Checking often, hoping for good news, thinking of you all.
