surgery is set

michael & i went to see the surgeon yesterday, he let me know that it is stage 1, & set up my surgery. surgery is set for tuesday, 6/21 @ 8:00...after a whirlwind diagnosis & tons of dr's appointments in such a short time (even with the holiday weekend), i now feel like it is coming to a screeching halt. i know, i know...it's not that far away. it is actually for a good reason. my drs want to get my graves disease under control before performing surgery. apparently if the graves disease is still out of control when you try to operate, it can cause a "thyroid storm" which could result in death...sooooo, i think i can be patient, this once. thank you all for your amazing love & prayers!!!

sadly, the "frousins" left today after an awesome week. thankfully, we don't have to wait too long to see them again!!!! we will see them again in just 5 short days! i think they should be able to make it! maybe they can recharge their sleep tanks, cuz i know they are all well past empty!!! they are so fun, i'm glad we had the privilege to keep them...now, i can't wait for their parents to get home so i can hear all about their trip to scotland! i wonder if the hills are alive? oh wait...no, that's austria. i wonder if it is too green? no, no, that's ireland. oh well...can't wait to hear.
