**update** thanks for praying! my cousin said that the surgeon was pleased, he was able to remove some of the dead & live tumor to relieve the pressure on Joshua's brain. The doctor's cannot touch the portion of the tumor that is in the brain stem. There were potential complications with the surgery & Joshua is coming through very well...he was moved to a regular room and will get to go back home soon!
if any of you have just a minute to pray for my cousin today...please do!! the following update was on his message board today (the one below it was from yesterday):

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!! Josh is going in for a 4+ hour surgery this afternoon to remove dead cells and as much of the tumor as they can. More details will be posted as they are available.
Joshua said he is "strong and courageous" before going to into surgery!!!
Please PRAY!!
