Amanda is out of surgery and is in pain but recovering. Here is the update in Brian's words.
I wanted to let everybody know that Amanda is out of surgery and her doctor
said everything went well. However, there was no tumor present on the thymus.
Apparently, her thymus is quite large compared to most adults her age and the
blood vessel or artery that supplies the thymus is positioned higher than in
most people giving the appearance of a mass on the CT scan.
Additionally, the lump in her lung was just a collection of lymphocytes
that are harmless but the doctor removed anyway. While there was no tumor
present the removal of the thymus may still help relieve the symptoms of the
myosthenia gravis but it will probably be several weeks before we know.
Well, that is the update for now. We will try to keep you informed on
Amanda's recovery and hopefully she can go home by Sunday or Monday. . .Thank you for your prayers and please
continue to keep Amanda in your thoughts and prayers as she
recovers.
- Silly coworker stories. 1) A lovely woman across the hall from me told me about visiting Dayton, "Oh-HI-uh". 2) A coworker stuck his head in my office Tuesday and said, "What are you wearing?" Astounded, I looked down to see if I was suddenly wrapped in plastic wrap or latex paint or something. I was relieved to find I was only wearing clothes. So I answered, "Clothes!" Turns out he was referring to the headphones I was wearing over one ear. This is the same coworker who once stuck his head in my office, saw the very large server rack being stored in my office, and said, "Nice rack." These are the only two exchanges I have ever really had with this coworker. Highly entertaining.
- Phrase of the day: "poor slob"
- Ok who remembers "Daddy beans?" I bet Dad does. I bet Mom does. I bought some of these the other day for sheer sentimentality's sake

Yes, your dad STILL eats "daddy beans". He eats an entire can while I eat my veggies!
Ha! Silly Dad. Other Daddy foods: two bologna sandwiches (sometimes the bologna is fried), potato chips, vanilla ice cream, vegetable beef soup, cheerios with sliced up bananas, cashews, smashed up saltine crackers with milk. Does he still eat these too?
Nix the bologna sandwiches and he now eats strawberries instead of bananas on his Cheerios.
His real weakness is Cherry Garcia ice cream and Jerry Garcia ties! (he doesnt eat the ties) Cashews are stilll in.
Ha just talked about daddy beans with dad and chris while they were in phoenix. Had dinner with them! Lovely times! Aww daddy beans. Reminds me of the days dad used to snag is shirt or pants (can't remember which) on the edge of the dinner table and say GAULLLEEEE!!!!
Oh totally! The way you spelled that was perfect. I can hear him saying it. Silly silly Dad.
