Hope you all had a wonderful get together! As 郁玲 said, this type of cancer has the highest cure rate. we started from panicing to calm and get ready for the medication. The surgery was done on Tuesday morning and went well. It took a little bit longer than anticipated though, it appeared that larger area was impacted than anticipated. Doctor had tried his best to clean up everything . He could not save 2 out of the 4 parathyroids and one of the two vocal nerves. On top of that, some musle and lump nodes were removed as well. A ratiation treatment and voal nerve rebuild are required after the surgery.

Yi-Chun was discharged as planned Wednesday morning. She, however, did not feel well Thursday afternoon so a call made to the doctor's office. After discussed with the on-call doctor, he asked me take Yi-Chun to emergency room right away. At that time both doctor and myself believe that Wake Forest Baptist Hospital ER is the best choice since they have all the medical records. When we almost reached the hospital, Yi-Chun was complaining cramping hands and chest as well as difficult to breathe. I called 911 while driving and asking for help. I have to either pull over and wait for an Ambulance or continue to speeding her to the hospital. I decided at that time continuing driving would be faster since I was only several miles away. I rushed her to the ER just in time to have medical attention. two on-call doctors from Dr. Brwne's office were called in for an emergency surgery so we waited there for almost 4 hours. The final decision was admimitted to the room for Dr. Browne to check on her friday morning at 6am.
 
She complained cramping after several calsieum IV's taken and the ER doctor was called back to the room to check on her. Blood tests were all normal but suddenly her O2 dropped, they took immediate actions to save her and decided to send her to the ICU (Intensive Care Units). She finally settleed down in the ICU bed around 3am.

Obviously her body did not like the surgery at all and some organs are on strike. She was released to normal room Friday afternoon under close monitoring with every 4 hour blood test. Doctor said she had an extreme reaction so satying in the hospital is the best way.

Now is Sunday morning. What a week for us! I am so sorry that she has to go through this but on the other hand, I am glad that she is in one of the best hospital in the US.

Sorry to turn Ms. Liu's blog into a message board again. But I would like to remind our femal friends to check your throat area regularly (more this problem on female than male). If you found anything growing, see a doctor immediately. The surgeon said Yi-Chun probably had this for 3 to  5 years already. She did not even had any sympotum. We actually caught this by accident in an unplanned physical during our trip back to Taiwan the past summer.

We appreciate all the encouragements and prayers friends all around the world have done for us.
