Mayo - Day 3

It's Rach again.  Feeling much more coherent today. The eight inch long incision on my neck looks pretty gruesome, but the pain is under control.  Today was just a rest and heal day.  Very boring.  We took a few walks around the floor and tried some kale chips at lunch.  Not very delicious. 

We met with the doctor again tonight. Final pathology came back and confirmed everything we were told yesterday.   The lovely drain in my neck still is draining more than 35 ml's in a 24 hour period so I will be staying overnight.  I will be discharged tomorrow and will likely go home with the drain in place and have it removed in Grand Rapids.  

We are meeting with the Endriconologist at 1:30 tomorrow and will start our drive home after that.  The plan is to go halfway and then finish up on Saturday.  

We got to FaceTime both our girls today!   Charlotte definitely recognized us and gave some big smiles - to daddy especially! Just the cutest thing.  Elise is having a blast too - she even got to visit kindergarten with grandma. 

Huge thanks to my mom and the Gootes for taking such good care of my girls.   We love you!
