Wanted to fill you all in on a couple of things.
Three- year old Emma had surgery for her spinal tumor today. A team of doctors was put together for the anticipated 12 hour surgery. The surgery only took 4 hours, and Emma is conscious and doing great! The tumor appears to be "low-grade" (?) and was completely mashed together with Emma's spine. Doctors said it was as if the tumor was the casing, and the spine the meat for a sausage. They basically went in, filleted the spine, and took out the tumor. Fantastic work. Here's hoping this gives Emma and her family all a new lease on a pain-free life.
A shout out to Joelle on getting a new job! She will be teaching 2nd grade next August. Kudos as well to my sister, who was just recently hired as the art teacher at a local school. Both are looking forward to working jobs they love. What's that like? Just kidding.
And to Scot, you are the best. Thanks for indulging all my whims and notions. Constantly. You are a wonderful, easy person to live with, and you make my life better. Sorry if I told you "I love you, but don't always like you" the other day. There will be days like those. :)
