Great News!

We met with the Doctor and Surgeon about two hours ago. Mom was told she does have a growth on her Thyroid but it is NON CANCEROUS. It is very small and nothing needs to be done for it. So because of this news Mom is having surgery tomorrow morning at St. Mary's Hospital here in Minnasota. The surgeon explained that the surgery would go like this.
She will check in.
She will be given an General ansesthesia.
They will cut about 1-2 inches in the base of the neck in the front.
They will take out the parathryoid that is bad and they know which is bad just by viewing its size.
They then wait 10 minutes and then test her blood for the levels and if it stablizes and becomes normal they know they got the one that is bad and then they sew her up and she is sent to recovery.
She will then be in recovery until about 1-3pm in the afternoon and if no problems she will be released to go back to the hotel.
The next morning we get up and she goes back to Mayo has her calicum level checked and then sent home. Yippee, we are all happy and excited that it may be coming to a close. It really can not happen soon enough.
Yes, Rosemary Mike has already been told he better be ware on the ferry ride back.
