UPDATE>>>>>UPDATE>>>>>UPDATE
I'm sorry, I'm so happy, I can't quit grinning.
Miriam is out of surgery and she came through it with flying colors.
They removed the rest of the thyroid gland and 2 or 3 small lymph nodes and the doctor says everything looks clean. He is sending the lymph nodes off for biopsy and should have the results early next week, but he said everything looks fine. The bruising this time is minimal, but she has to keep the drain tube in for 3 days. She is taking pain medicine, of course, but not much because she says it was not as painful as the first surgery.
Anyway, she says she misses you all and wishes she could be here, rather than where she is. And she said to thank all of you for the prayers, positive energy and good vibes, they worked.
She gets out in the morning, and may be back on here tomorrow night.
There will be more updates as they become available.
Thank you all.
