11am Update - The Consultation Room

Exactly an hour later and the nurse walks up and I was expecting her to hand me the phone again, but she said that it was time to go the consultation room to meet with the doctor. So we quickly gathered up all of our electronics and various bags, as we are loathe to travel lightly anywhere. We rushed into the consultation room and waited for the Doctor. He said everything went well. One large incision, 2 small pieces of bone (one at the base of the spine and one where the cyst is). The doctor found the cyst to be odd, but not threatening upon examination. He couldn't remove it because it was too close to the spine and has sent a sample to be tested in the lab. So hopefully that will be ok. He said when he cut the fat at the base, the spine sprang up a little, which was a good indication to him.

We're back in the waiting room, waiting (ironic). We were fortunate to get our original seat back (the music is still playing from the video game. There's no way to turn it off). Thomas is getting moved to recovery and then later today he'll be admitted to the hospital.

more to come
