Good News / Bad News
Good News:
Erika is doing fantastic! She even went home a day early (Saturday). She has had the bandaging removed and is healing really well. She did not even need painkillers for at home. She is talking fine and won't need to be on Thyroid medication. We are all very excited. This will be a good Christmas for her after all!
Bad News:
Cloak (MS-B's cat pounced on Velvet (my siamese) and gashed her eyeball open causing the cornea to drain its fluid. I rushed her to the vet Monday. She will be there till Thursday morning. They are trying to save the eye. There is good hope for this. I hope the treatments work and that surgery will not be necessary.
Yes... the timestamp is right. It is indeed 4:25AM... I am doing my Candle Vigil for Yule.
MERRY YULE EVERYONE!

The Family News!!! YAY!!!!
Ok... here id the Family news (it all came in very late last night:
1 - (my niece) Erika's surgery went absolutely perfect and complication free yesterday! They removed 1/2 her thyroid and managed to not touch her vocal chords nor voicebox. She has a lovely big room to recover in at the Children's Hospital (RM: D762). She can already talking a bit and is excited to tell people about the tubes that are attached to her. She is expected hopm Sunday for a 3 weeks recovery at home. She will not need to take pills the rest of her life. She will need to be follored by an oncologist for cancer recurrance. Many many thanks to all for thie energy and healing rituals!!!
2 - My Dad went in for his kidney test. The gave him something to lower his bloodbressure very low then made him eat something radioactive to "light up kidneys" for them to take pictures. Took about an hour. They still only saw one kidney and some unknown shriveled mass that might be the other. People are laughing about the "missing" kidney. He waits a week or so for the pictures to be comared to other tests and pictures. So, sometime January they will discuss with him what to do.
3 - My mom is breast cancer free. But she does have gallstones and so the gallbladder will be taken out. Her surgery is April sometime, maybe sooner if they can schedule it. She is majorly calmer now. With the main stress of Erika's surgery over and the knowledge that gallbladder removal surgeries are simple and that she is breast cancer free... she is much less stressed.
Everyone will be home for Christmas (my family is not pagan and doesn't celebrate Yule).
I want to extend many many thanks to everyone with HUGE HUGE hugs. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
