Kai’s surgery went well. His left thyroid was removed. The surgeons think they got most of the malignant cells, but they can’t be sure, so we’ll see an oncologist in two weeks, when the pathology report is in.

He has a four-inch incision running right down the middle of his neck. He has to stay quiet now, which won’t be a problem for him but may be a problem for Chester.

He’s in good spirits but weak and groggy.

The photo was taken right after we left the hospital by the student who did our intake on Monday. She happened to be walking by while we stopped for Kai to pee.
