Surgery is complete

Carol's surgery is complete and she is stable, which is exactly as it should be. The surgery went very well. There were a number of contingencies and back up plans at the start and none came into play during the operation. That is very good news

Unfortunately, the bad news is there was no tumor. That doesn't mean the pituitary gland is not the source of Carol's Cushing's, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. So the doctors took a part of the pituitary (you only need 20% for normal function) and sent it to pathology for examination.

So, once again, we wait. We should know more Wednesday or Thursday.

I will update everyone when I know more and in the mean time, please keep those good thoughts coming.
