Laura's been home for a few days now. After five nights in the hospital, Laura came home. Both Laura and i were nervous for her to leave the hospital with how hard it was for Laura to get around on her own. Surgery Thursday morning, on our way home on Tuesday at 1:00pm.
The doctor said that the cyst was easily the size of a football, but the biopsy came up with the expected benign result. There was some pancreatic tissue on the cyst, but i don't really know if that means the cyst originated from her pancreas or if it was just so close to the pancreas that the cyst started taking up some of that material too. i don't think the doctors know either. She'll get another CT scan later this summer to see if they caught everything.
Laur has done so well with the recovery. Bumps in the road (even the little ones) aren't fun, so she hasn't been away from the house much. We did take Maggie for her two-month check-up on Friday. For the first couple of days Laura couldn't get up off of the couch without some help. Yesterday and today, Laura has been getting off of the couch by herself while still holding Maggie. Laura doesn't look comfortable while she does it, but she's a little more self-sufficient each day.
Dr. Garry said that Laura might not feel like she's up to full speed until six weeks after the surgery. Laura says that she'd prefer 20 c-sections to having to go through this surgery again. It's just so crazy that Laura had that cyst and Maggie inside her all at once. Laura's really doing quite well, and Maggie and i both happy to have her home again.

Hi Laura, I heard about your surgery and can't believe what you have been thru. I am so glad it is over and you are on the road to recovery. Take it easy and give yourself some time and you will be feeling better in no time. You are a bubbley spirit and that will help you heal. Your baby is a doll. Love her tanner chin. Tyler's Tyson has the same chin too. So does Brandon. Hope to see you at the reunion in a month, you will be feeling great then. WE remember you in our prayers, love Auntie B.
Hi Guys,
Way to let me know what's going on every once in a while! It's not like we live in China. I am glad to hear that everything went ok with your surgery. I hope you make a quick recovery. I would love to help out if you guys ever need anything. I will even babysit if you need a night out. (Dave, let me know if you need me to bring you guys some dinner one of these nights, I would be happy to.)
Keep in touch
Love Neisha

Wow, it's been a while since I've checked in, and it seems like there's been a lot happening. I hope Laura has a speedy recovery and that there are no further complications from this.
