We are home. Once we got about 30 miles out of Rochester the roads were good. Rochester must have gotten the brunt of this storm. Lisa's doctor called on our way home and said the results of the CT scan show the problem parathyroid and he wants to do surgery. Right now Lisa is penciled in for surgery on the 22nd. The parathyroid is right below her chest bone. So they will try to get it from the site of her past surgeries but if if that does not work they will have to go through the chest which will take a little longer to recover from. If this is her last parathyroid (the doctors think it is)they will remove the bad part and put the good parts in her arm. It will hopefully work properly from there. That way if there are problems in the future the surgery will be in her arm instead of her neck and/or chest.
Glad to be home and so thankful we had a nice place to stay at. Can't wait to sleep in our own bed and for Aubrey to feel comfortable again. Not sure if she was feeling our stress and could not sleep or if it was being in an unfamiliar place.
We are so pleased with the whole Mayo facility and staff. First class from top to bottom.
