Pay it Forward Day

is today. Do something for someone else...

Prayers, please - updated

Please keep Eileen (Eak) in your prayers today. She will undergo surgery to remove her thyroid and the cancer around it sometime after noon EDT. The major concern is whether the cancer has spread. Her support team is in place, thank Godde.

Hi, everyone,

Eileen asked me to update you on her surgery today. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, her surgeon reported that the surgery "went perfectly." The full pathology report will be available on Thursday, but his report today was very positive.

Eileen will spend the night in the hospital, and is expected to be discharged tomorrow morning. She plans to lay low for a few days, and will be in touch when she's feeling a little more like herself.

So, according to all reports, all is well. Thank you for thinking about her and praying for her ... it worked.
