per Billy – Vanessa is improving every day. Today she was able to move (with assistance) from the hospital bed to a chair thus qualifying her to relocate to a regular room which she gladly accepted. Yippee! She probably still has a few days left at the hospital. She knows everyone is thinking about her and praying for her. She thanks all of you as do I. Please do not feel like you have to visit her in the hospital she would prefer to use the time in the hospital to recover.

Also, her results from her Thyroid Biopsy came back positive for an abnormality. This means the mass in her thyroid could be anything not normal, but the bottom line is that it will need to be removed at a date to be named later.

Once I figure out how to add pictures I will. Until next time everyone have a Happy President’s Day.
