These pictures were taken last Friday evening as Anita, my mother-in-law, was being released from the hospital after surgery. We found out not even two weeks ago, that she had cancer. They originally found a sack of fluid on her thyroid on the right side of her neck, and went in last Wednesday to remove the sack and be done with it! But upon doing some further exploration during surgery, the Dr. found cancer on the left side in her lymph nodes. So she ended up having her entire thyroid removed and some of her lymph nodes as well. We had dinner with her at her house this evening (to celebrate Grandpa Bacon's birthday!) and she is doing very well. She has been tired, but other than that, doing exceedingly well.
She is such a dear, dear soul to so many. She has some follow-up treatment in a few weeks... AKA: a radioactive iodine treatment that should take care of any residual cancer in the area.
Please be in prayer for Jeremy's Mom! She is well loved by all of us.

Wow that is scary. I hope all goes well. My friend Vikki who is on my blogroll had the same thing a couple years ago. Everything is fine now, so I am sure Anita will do well.
