Super Quick Update

After a super long period of time with no updates...here is one :) I just wanted to say thanks for all of  your prayers, visits and car rides while I was not able to drive during recovery. 

The fantastic news is that I am healing super fast and my scar is getting better every day. My follow-up appointment went well and I have returned to normal life (a.k.a. DRIVING) 

My next surgery for the right side of my neck is scheduled for June 1st. I check into Mercy Main Hospital at 11:30 a.m. and go under the knife at 1:30 p.m. I have the same surgeon as before, Dr. Kuestner. 

My pre-surgery physical is set for May 25th at 8:40 a.m. They will be competing typical blood work as well as checking my cholesterol levels. Why? I do not know. They didn't prior to the first surgery, so that is interesting.

Please continue to pray. My requests are identical to the first post. I really do appreciate all of the support that I have been blessed with and I am so excited for the end of all of this!

P.S. I will be posting visitation info and such after my surgery. If you choose to visit, please bring a verse or your Bible so that I can hear the Word! This was the hardest thing for me during my first hospital stay because I was not able to mentally function enough to read my Bible. Every bit of encouragement helps!

In Christ,
Samanthya
