You...and your team Got This!

On January 3rd, this nightmare began...the Irons family received the difficult news that Artie has throat cancer.  That week a plan was made after meeting with the Jefferson team and the Journey started.  

After some difficult obstacles, the plan changed a little which brings us to TODAY...2/11/2022...Surgery Day! 

2/11/22 - 2:00pm - Dr called earlier robotics went great and started on neck - awaiting an update soon and will post. Keep the prayers coming. 

2/11/22 - 4:00pm - out of surgery all went well. Cancer is out. Check back tomorrow for an update. …
2/12/22 - 8:45am - Krista spoke with Artie and he sure hasn’t lost his sense of humor. He may be coming home today if he is able to swallow. He is talking (mumbling) but communicating wonderfully. He even FaceTimed Alivia just now.

2/12/22 - Artie is HOME!!!!  of course this wouldn’t keep him down. He is doing so well but tired. 8 hour surgery will do that to you!!!!  Keep prayers coming 

2/15/22 - Its been a couple of hard days and nights for Artie!!!!  Pain and uncomfortableness set in hours after being released from the hospital. Lots of swelling and difficulty swallowing anything. Keep prayer coming. Thank you

Hi everyone! A few quick updates sorry for the delay in getting this information out.. So very sad to say Artie needs another surgery to remove all his teeth prior to starting radiation and chemo.. he will have surgery performed tomorrow  He is scheduled for his first radiation March 30th everyday for 7 straight weeks and first chemo starting Monday April 4th once a week for 6 weeks as long as he’s healed enough from tomorrows surgery.

Your team is behind you and will continue to be...you got this!
3/29/22  - tomorrow begins Artie’s first radiation… Keep the prayers coming and check for updates
