The charge nurse from Head and Neck Surgery finally called Wed. morning with an appointment for Erin to have the core biopsy today at noon. Clark took Erin in for the appointment. (My sister Patricia arrived Wed. from Denver and we were tied up with a bridge game.)
Dr. Cua took 2 samples from the spot at the base of Erin’s neck. I asked Erin if the process hurt, and she just shrugged and said she has had so many procedures in the last 7 years that nothing really phases her.
Dr. Cua said that the results would be back next week, and wouldn’t speculate about the possibilities.
Erin really enjoys talking to Patricia. Whenever she hears Patricia and me talking in the kitchen, Erin appears on the scene.

Tour de Force de Erin: This Mom Fights 
My thoughts are with you Erin, and hope this is just a benign growth with no major side effects or any complications or pain for you.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Debbie and Steven’s birthday with a small barbecue at his house. Hopefully the rain will stay away and the boys can use up their energies outdoors.
A big hug. We are all with you!
Happy Birthday to Steven and Debbie!!
