Original caption

Just a few hours till he has a tumor removed from his spinal cord. We are trying to have fun and get things off his mind. We’ve been coloring, playing w playdoh, singing, dancing, playing geometry dash. Trying to stay in good spirits. He loves this song. 🎵 #prayersforphoenix #pray #prayers #healing #spinaltumor #prayersneeded @Bruno Mars #spinaltumorwarrior #childrenshospital
