MaryAnn Status 5/4

We went to the Lahey Clinic in Peabody this morning and met with Dr. Paul Smiley.  He agrees that surgery is needed and is now scheduled for Thursday (5/7) in the Burlington facility. He knows that some bone will have to be removed, but until he gets in there he does not know how aggressive they will have to be.  Right now our focus is on eliminating the source of infection and he agrees with that.  How much bone they have to remove will obviously determine what degree of reconstructive surgery will be required, but that is in the future.

We probably will be heading up early Thursday morning, but we'll know the time  for sure on Wednesday. She could be home as early as Saturday depending on how things go.   It was a very efficient morning up there.  We left home at 8:20 and were home by 2:20
