Sat. Eve

Hello Everyone,
Here's an updated from Sat. surgery. Dr. Suen did surgery with Hayden and his report was that the incision was open where he saw at the appt. and he said there was good blood flow and that tissue looked good with no infection but he did clear off margins and contoured Hayden's tongue meaning he took some excess tissue from center of tongue where Hayden had damaged by biting and also took off areas that were sloughing off anyways. He said there might be some swelling but it should be minimal. Dr. Suen will check Hayden on Sunday and then if all looks good will take out trach at that time. Then if all is well they can come back to hotel on Sunday. Dr. Suen will check Hayden again first part of week and we should be able to come back home Tn and Ga by middle or end of week. As for MRI Dr. El Babba called and said remnant of tumor is still there but is unchanged from surgery so that means we can be signed off by Dr. Al Mefty orders to return for next surgery after holidays. PRAISE GOD!!!!

So as for praises we are sooooo thankful for good report today. As for MRI well we were a little disappointed but at the same time God has been faithful as always and for that we are truly thankful......

Now as for prayers: Please continue to pray for continued healing of incision site and that Hayden will soon get to eat by mouth. Dr. Suen said it would be at least 3 weeks for food but as early as Monday possibly for water by mouth. Another praise!!!!

Well Mason is touching every key he can get his hands on and it is hard to type and have thoughts with the terminator at the keyboard. Must close for now. Thanks again for all the prayers.

Still Praising Him for His Goodness,
Mimi
