Great News
Enrique just spoke with his surgeon and got great news - he still has the same excellent prognosis for a full recovery. Our additional worrying since Monday was unnecessary.
Enrique's surgeon is bringing in the other surgeons as a precaution.
There is a slightly higher risk that his parathyroid glands will be damaged or removed and that he'll need to take a calcium supplement for the rest of his life. But that risk remains small (it's gone from 1-2% to 3-4%) and the consequences relatively mild.
The only other relatively minor downer is that his scar will be larger and more visible. Instead of being a horizontal line than runs along one of the folds of his neck, it will be t-shaped. We can live with that.
This is great news. Hopefully the vocal cord specialist this afternoon will have similarly good news.
