Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know how things are going for my mother.

Thank you Lisa, Jerry and Cathy for all the information you have given me. It really means a lot to me.

My mom had her surgery on Wed. and came home on Thurs. I was a little surprised they sent her home so soon. They removed 1/2 her tongue and did a skin graft from her upper leg. They put a Bolt(of gauze) on top of the graft and she will have that removed in about 5-7 days. Very hard for her to even talk or take liquids in. She has to drink real slow. I hope when she gets that removed then she will be able to take in some soft food.
We go to the dr. on Monday to get the pathology report. After the surgery he did say he got clean margins. I just hope the the patho report says the same thing.
Does anyone know how long it take for the graft to take?
Just waiting for the pathology report is enough to drive me crazy.
I will keep you all posted.
Thanks again for all the information you have given me.
I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Michelle
