"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven"
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Well, here I am in the hospital. Of course, I'm having trouble sleeping. Partly due to my roommate in the next bed channel surfing between sports, talk, and 40's music on various AM radio stations (I'm sure she needs it to sleep, and it reminds me of being a kid staying the night at my grandma's house, plus I'm probably waking her up every 2 hours when I use the restroom), the children that sound like Sam crying in the hall, and just plain being away from my favorite boys in an uncomfortable bed with tubes all around me. I dislike being a patient, but I'm glad I get to go home tomorrow.
After my surgery was delayed about an hour and a half, it went rather quick. Though, I was unconscious, so it went faster for me than anyone else! The doctor walked into the recovery room and stated "you're cured!" and said the surgery went "perfect!" That was so encouraging to hear while in my super groggy state. I felt like I smiled, but it could have been a slow blink. He did remove a couple lymph nodes to send to pathology, but said he did not see any other worrisome spots on the thyroid gland itself. My incision is smaller and lower than I anticipated, so that is a positive too.
Please pray for quick healing so I can hug my family soon and for all the lymph nodes to come back benign!
Thank you again for your prayer, encouragement, and love. Nate and I feel so blessed to have you in our life.
Love,
(A very sleepy) Beth
Praise you Jesus that you make all things new. I pray Lord that these lymph nodes would be benign and that your healing power would forever remain a testament in Beth's life. We praise you for what you've done and continue to do in your servant Beth. I pray covering over the Watts boys as they navigate through this recovery and I ask that this year be bountiful and life giving for this family. We praise your name Lord Jesus, the giver of good things! Amen.
