Justin has been experiencing some major swelling in his right foot for a few months. He went to the Doctor and they sent him to the ER thinking he may have a blood clot. After an ultra sound, that was ruled out. He went to a foot specialist and they thought he had torn the sheath around his tendon or a membrane in his foot. They did an MRI and some x-rays and discovered that maybe he had some cysts as well. The Doctor wanted to do surgery and remove the cysts, repair the sheaths, and do some exploring as to why the swelling. Yesterday, they did the surgery and found no torn sheaths or cysts but they did find a tumor the size of a small apple that completely filled the inside of his ankle. They were able to get it all. We are so grateful that the Doctor found what was wrong and got all of it out. Justin is doing well and is on his way to a speedy recovery.
