Just got back home. Surgery was 1 1/2 hours and they removed the cist and the thyroid bone. He was not a happy camper. He ripped the IV out of his hand and in doing so stuck it in his leg. But the best part of the morning was when he got to his room, his dad was holding him and he seen grandpa, out came the arms and he laid on my chest for over and hour. This is until he was awake enough to see his Mom standing there, and then it was all over...lol. What a boy. They have to watch him carefully for the next 6 hours, and depending on the outcome, he may come home later tonight, or have to stay for observation. Not sure yet.
