Good News So Far

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update today. We have been over at the hospital for most of the day and left the laptop here in the hotel room.

Chance did really really well. He was very calm going into surgery. They gave him a sedative to relax him, and then I held him on my lap while they wheeled him back to the operating room. I left when he was completely out.

The surgery went smoothly and fairly quickly. When he was done, the surgeon met with us and said that it looked to him like the nodules were benign. The final biopsy results will be back tomorrow afternoon, but the surgeon said he was very optimistic that they will concur with him.

Chance was a little upset when he came out of surgery. He was a little uncomfortable and somewhat disoriented, so that is completely understandable. He wanted the IV out of his hand and was ready to get dressed and go.

There are a couple of nice playrooms at the hospital, and by this evening, he was up playing. He is eating very well, and doesn't seem to be in much pain. Jesse is staying with him tonight. He should be discharged tomorrow.
