Today mom is having the goiters taken out of her neck. She is scheduled to be at the hospital this morning at 8:00 a.m. I took the day off work so I could be at the hospital with her, Lisa may also be there. Please keep her in your prayers.
Mom came through the surgery ok. The Dr. got all the goiters and took out 90% of her gland. He said he didn't see how she was still breathing and swallowing, In his opinion she may not have made it to her 6mo checkup. I stayed with her until they brought her into her room. She looked good, but was getting nervous because her mouth was so dry and she just wanted something. When I left she was trying to eat, (liquid diet) she was trying but having a little bit of a hard time. She'll be in the hospital tonight and depending on how she's doing tomorrow, maybe she can come home.
After they wheeled mom away the 4 of us went to the cafeteria and got a bite to eat. The lady on the right is Barb, thank God for her. She's the one that got mom to all these Drs. that has helped her. She's been their from the beginning and she stayed with us at the hospital all day while mom was in surgery.
