"Shh, mommy's surgery"

My surgery was Thursday and it went well. It was indeed the cholesteatoma that was back and it had been compressing a vein that supplied blood to my brain, which explains my headaches. The Dr. was able to remove it all without any complications and even place a plastic sheath over that vein so in case the cholesteatoma ever grows back it will not attach to that vein or compress it. He called me at 7pm the next night just to tell me that it was the 2nd largest cholesteatoma he had ever seen and if I would have waited just a little bit longer for my surgery it would have been the largest!

The pain is tolerable, but I have been very tired and hope that soon I will snap out of it and back into my routine.

Thank you for all of your prayers.

Blake and Bryce are being very good and understanding that Mommy needs some rest. Mimi has been here to help and Sean and Erica took the boys over night one night. Bryce keeps walking up to me with his finger to his mouth, "Shhh" and Blake tells everyone about "Mommy's surgery". Too funny!
