Elizabeth Update
Elizabeth finally got an appointment with the oncology surgeon at Duke yesterday. There is one tumor, about the size of a golf ball, that is starting to wrap around her bronchial tube, and they want to remove it ASAP. Soooooo, she goes in for surgery on her right lung on Monday, at 2:15pm.
They will remove the other right-lung tumors at the same time. Depending on how extensive the surgery is, she could have surgery on the left lung in as little as 3 weeks! It should not be as intense as the right lung surgery.
Her health, otherwise, has been amazing! Her hair has started to grow back, and she has gained a few pounds, and is generally feeling good most of the time.
My eternal thanks to ya'll for being so supportive, and keeping me sane!
Love,
Amy

Thanks, guys. Sometimes it seems like she's been sick forever...and then sometimes it seems hard to believe she has a serious illness. It can be surreal.
She is SO vibrant and funny. She's strong, too...but it still makes my heart ache to watch her go through all of this. People say it all the time, but I WOULD take it on myself, if I could.
Thanks, again, for praying for her... and for me.

Updated Update
Elizabeth got out of surgery around 11 pm tonight. The main tumor was much worse than they originally thought... and had invaded her bronchial tube, arteries, and pericardium. (not sure if I'm spelling all this right!) The surgeon ended up having to remove her entire right lung, and pericardium. There was no damage to her heart.
I just visited with her in the ICU, and she is doing fairly well. As expected, she is in a good deal of pain, but they are doing all they can to help her with that. They expect to be able to move her to a step-down unit tomorrow.
'til then....
-Amy
