Awake at 6:30am, just checking in to the hotel now at 10pm. Consult with the surgeon this morning, pre-op stuff this afternoon, walk around the mall and a late dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.
Back to the hospital by 6:30am tomorrow, surgery at 8:30, home by late afternoon if everything goes well. They'll be making a small incision at Tricia's old tracheotomy scar, and sending a bronchioscope down into her chest, outside of her airway, to get a few samples from the area that appears to be cancer. This procedure has a much better chance of getting good samples.
We should know something by tomorrow afternoon, although nothing will be confirmed until the biopsy comes back, sometime next week.
Thanks.
Nate

Mark 5:25-29, 34
"And a woman who was there who had been ill for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better, she grew worse.
When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak because she thought, 'If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.' Immediately, the illness in her blood was healed, and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
Jesus said to her--
'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering'."
Prayers to you all...
Thanks for the update, Nate, especially with how tired you must be. We're continuing to pray for you & Tricia.
