As far as we know, the surgery went well. He took two biopsies, one in front of the eardrum and one behind. There was not much fluid, so he did not put in a tube. We will get results in several days. The bone marrow aspirate also apparently went well, and that also takes about a week to get all the results back.
The cotton ball they put in her ear got soaked through, though it was not supposed to come out until tomorrow. But Jon put in a new one and there seems to be no more bleeding.

Is that the famous monkey that goes with her to all procedures?
Brave girl. It's been a long day, I hope you all can get a good night's sleep. We'll keep you in our thoughts for good results.
Yes, she had not been interested in him as much recently, but today she was quite happy to have him.
The downside of there not being that much fluid behind the eardrum is that there was an unknown soft, spongy tissue, which he biopsied.
The CT scan also showed a parotid gland swelling on her right (If I mentioned it previously, I thought he said carotid gland, but the oncologist PA guessed that he probably said parotid). Also of unknown cause currently.
