The Surgery was scheduled for 11:30......I FINALLY was rolled back at 1. (Starving) </div>

It was a success! I lost the left side of my thyroid as they took out a a golf ball size knot out of that side. I was able to keep my right side with the hopes that it will overtake the function of the thyroid and I won't have to go onto medication. I'll have to get tested every 6 Months to make sure my Thyroid is functioning, but other than that, the ordeal is over!

Matthew is finally paying back all the nights of snoozing all night long! Due to a little tooth and a pesky cough, Matthew has been waking up at least once a night. By the time us heavy sleepers realize he is awake....he is WIDE awake. So a diaper change and feeding is always required. It is a good thing he is so cute! (I don't always feel this way....but most of the time, I actually don't mind getting up with him. I usually take that time to pray and am thankful that I have a baby to wake up for!) </span><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My Thyroid Biopsy was not as scary as I had made it out in my head to be! Ben was an awesome husband who went with me and they let him stay with me the entire time. Did it hurt? HECK yes but nothing like child birth! The anxiety really was the worse. <br />
Speaking of one amazing husband....I did good and was really brave.....that is until we reached the car. I was starving, so Ben went through a drive through and while we were waiting on our food, I started feeling bad. I laid back my chair and had the air conditioner on full blast (it was cold outside). After we received the food, Ben started heading home. Within a mile of our house, apparently I passed out and started seizing (normal for me). Ben had never witnessed me passing out and I am SO proud that he safely got us home and made sure I recovered! <br />
<br />
We received the results this week......NO CANCER! Hooray! I honestly didn't feel like it would be cancer, but just hearing the words makes you a bit nervous. <br />

</tbody></table>
The Bad News: I still have this large (and ever growing) bump on my neck. The "bump" is a nodule and although non-cancerous, is fluid filled in which they were unable to drain it. This means surgery is in my future. Why surgery? This wonderful thing will continue to grow, so it is best to get it out. Also, at any point, it can become cancerous, so if no surgery, I would continue to have to have the biopsy every 6 months. <br />
<br />
We will meet with a ENT surgeon this Tuesday to talk it over and decide the time to do it. I am anxious about getting it out as I do feel it internally......it is the same sensation that you have when you get a pill stuck in your throat. With the surgery, it will more than likely mess with my nursing goal of six months. Although not ideal, I have nursed for four months and I keep telling myself Matthew will be fine no matter if he is having mommy's milk or formula! That is why they make formula, right? <br />
<br />
I do ask for prayers as we make the decision of the surgery time for peace about nursing as well as just the surgery and the post op (it will require some hospital time). <br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;"> Week 8 Weight Loss: 1.7 Pounds</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> Week 9 Weight Loss: GAINED .5 Pounds</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> Week 10 Weight Loss: 1.2 Pounds</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"> Total Loss: 17.6 Pounds</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">For any Mommies out there.....I have found that Weight Watchers truly has been the easiest diet to follow. You can have whatever you what (Banana, oranges, snickers bars, Chicken, Beef, etc, etc), it is just what you want to spend your "points" on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">As a nursing mother, it is also important that I am able to EAT and not STARVE......with WW allowing nursing mothers on the plan, they allow me to eat and not starve. My body will NEVER be a bikini body again (tell me again why I complained in High School of being fat?!?!?) but my goal is to be ABLE to wear a bikini by summer (even though my tummy will never see the sun again!). </span>The Carroll Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07501845456752744039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356944651502188070.post-71642800624995961292012-10-14T14:54:00.000-05:002012-10-14T14:54:19.940-05:00Matthew is 3 Months!(OPPS!

The key to weight loss in our house.....preparation! <br />
<br />
I found that Ben and I both eat healthier if I choose one day.....cut up/wash all the fruit and have it readily accessible. Also, we make our lunches the night before so that we don't have an excuse to go out to eat! <br /><br />

It is has been a LONG time (i.e., high school) since I have had to take any anatomy classes! <br />
I have quickly learned more about the thyroid and its functions in the last 3 weeks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVo-nzeUwkaQYvbleax2_5dDo8dpQccY1bv7kBNTyE-A8w3dTwtKNwWD_m04l1w-74WusKw3RSTFoheSDOG8d63gXGyshwBratftFrbgl_iqlZPIw6ujrvnx5JYfHVGFvrH395w6rRNNk6/s1600/thyroid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVo-nzeUwkaQYvbleax2_5dDo8dpQccY1bv7kBNTyE-A8w3dTwtKNwWD_m04l1w-74WusKw3RSTFoheSDOG8d63gXGyshwBratftFrbgl_iqlZPIw6ujrvnx5JYfHVGFvrH395w6rRNNk6/s320/thyroid.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When I was really sick a few weeks ago (fever, etc), when I saw the doctor in the Walk-in clinic, he could have cared less about my "virus" and wanted to know how long I had "that thing" on your throat. (As a side note, Ben and I had not noticed the "thing" but just the week before my sister told me that my neck was really big.....I thought she was being rude! I had to call and apologize) <br />
<br />
After some blood work, seeing 2 Doctors, 1 Endocrinologist, and 1 surgeon, we have learned that I have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid. They are thinking that I might have had it for a while, but because of my post-pregnancy hormones, it might have just had enough juice to get larger. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow, I will be going for a biopsy and to have the wonderful thing drained. I. AM. SCARED. TO. DEATH. Honestly, I'm not worried at all about the results, I REALLY don't think it is cancer. HOWEVER, I am very worried about the pain. I am awake during the procedure (i.e. big needles in my neck!) and the doctor has painted a very painful picture. I'm hoping he has made it sound worse than it is just so I will be pleasantly surprised! <br />
<br />
If you have a chance, say a pray that it will be pain free as possible and that the results will come back good. It does takes 2-3 weeks before we will know so until then, I go on living like I never had it and then depending on the results, the doc said we would go from there. <br />
<br />
Thank you for your prayers!

It is the "Mommy Goes Back to Work Day". <br />
<br />
I have absolutely LOVED maternity leave. I have taken in every bit of 11 weeks 4 Days and not taken one day for granted. <br />
<br />
I have laughed, cried, grown inpatient, made great memories, been silly, challenged potty training, and loved on the boys. <br />
<br />
As with any decision as a family you have to weigh everything and at the time, working is what is best for us. <br />
<br />
I am so VERY thankful for the amazing women who help me raise my boys at Central Presbyterian Children's Center. John Michael loves his teacher, Ms. Katelyn, and she is so wonderful with him and he comes home learning things that I am amazed by. Matthew will stay with my mother-in-law for a few days before starting school. But when he does start class he will have the exact same teacher, Mrs. Shirley, that John Michael did. (John Michael still loves to visit Mrs. Shirley!) I know they will be in good hands....just not my hands, and that is what makes it hard. <br />
<br />
If you think about it.....say a prayer for me on Friday that I will be at peace and my emotions will be in check! As I know the boys won't even know I'm not there, but I sure will! <br />
<br />
Here is a glimpse of some of the fun we had on my second half of Maternity Leave: <br />

This was a special trip for us and we were so glad to be able to meet and see some of the wonderful people who have been taking care of a very special man of ours! MD Anderson is an amazing facility. </div>

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and made the remaining 2 hour drive to Houston, TX. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were able to check out MD Anderson and had lunch in the cafeteria (which was really awesome). After lunch, we were surprised (and excited!) to learn that Papaw was going to be released from the hospital and he was going to be able to spend time with us in the hotel. We were able to get the first Arkansas Razorback game on our iPads and Laptop computer and we cheered the Hogs to Victory! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Total Loss: 11 Pounds!!!</span></div>
<br />
Back on track this week and feeling great! <br />
<br />
We have exercised (walking while pushing a doulbe stroller) and I have only had ONE "real" Coke this entire week (quite an accomplishment!). <br />
<br />
Goal of the Week: Not to stress out about the future in regards to weight loss and just taking it day by day. <br />

A week where you truly realize how important it is to be well? <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our week. </div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Last Wednesday, Matthew began running a fever. Being the great mom I am, I thought he was hot all day because it was hot outside. To prove to myself it was just the weather, I (smart one that I am) waited until 5 PM to take Matthew's temperature. 102* F. What!?!? Took it again, same thing. Knowing that when you are released from the hospital after having a baby and every newborn class I have taken, temperature is really bad for an 8 week old. Flipping out a little, I call the pediatrician, who (of course) is out for the evening, but I do get the AR Children's Hospital Answering Service. The sweet nurse told me that we need to get to the ER. I pack up John Michael and we wait for Ben to get home. John Michael (Thankfully) was able to spend the evening with his Nana and Ops and Ben, Matthew, and I headed to the ER. They were very nice and segregated us from the rest of the crowd. He was still running fever and did get assigned a room fairly quickly for the ER. A chest X-Ray and CBC Blood work (made Matthew and me cry) were ran, Tylenol given and then we were sent home around 10 PM saying it was probably a virus, but go see the pediatrician in the morning. </div>

Then comes last Friday, I wake up with 103.4 fever and John Michael is snotting around. My awesome husband, came home from work and JM and I headed to the doctor. JM gets the diagnosis of "allergies", I get the wonderful "It is just a virus". However, during my exam, the doctor is very troubled by my thyroid, so blood work for me. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Loss 3 Pounds</strong></span></div>
<br />
The good news, I lost weight. The bad news, I didn't follow the Weight Watchers Diet. I followed the SICK diet. The fever, aches, chills, hurts to eat and talk diet. Consisting mainly of water and soup (and one Frosty for dinner). <br />
<br />
My goal of the week was to stay away from "The Real Thing" (Coke) and my sickness has helped me. I have had a total of 2 cokes this entire week (I big accomplishment). It hurts too much to drink sodas, so that always helps the matter. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping I kick this thing soon and the weight loss will be from dieting and not from the SICK diet. <br />
<br />
Goal of the Week: Feel better! That way I can start exercising again.The Carroll Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07501845456752744039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356944651502188070.post-21480897603213274582012-08-16T15:52:00.000-05:002012-08-16T15:52:24.850-05:00Weigh In Wednesdays- Week 2Drum Roll Please.......Week 2......<br />

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Loss 0 Pounds</span></strong></div>
<br />
This is correct, no loss and no gain, which after the weekend I had, I see this as a win actually. <br />
I stuck to the diet as much as possible; however, when you go to your home town, you must indulge a little, right? You just pull up your boot straps and vow to do better the next week. <br />
<br />
My motto has been "Rome wasn't built in a day", so I shouldn't expect to lose 20 pounds in a day either. <br />
<br />
Goal of the week: Stay away from Coca-Cola. This is my BIGGEST down fall. I LOVE coke. <br />

When I was in High School, I thought it was the most boring, awful place one could live in. <br />
It seems the older I get, the more and more special and exciting it becomes. <br />
Hot Springs has the Lake, the Horse Races, Magic Springs, great histrocial sites, etc, etc, but most importanly it has my family. Not only my mom and dad but the entire Burroughs (and Hall) clan.....grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. <br />
Matthew was finally travel ready and we packed up and went to visit the Hot Springs Family. We had a great time and were able to see <strong>*almost*</strong> everyone. <br />
<br />
Some of the Highlights: <br />

(I know you are excited about reading it, right?) <br />

Drum Roll Please.......Week 1......<br />

This was what I needed after a week of watching every little thing I had eaten. Isn't it crazy that when you start a "diet" you are obsessed with food. What you are eating as well as what is not good for you? It consumes you until you get your groove. <br />
<br />
Before anyone accuses me of not eating, you are so wrong. Although I want to lose weight, I know that a little one is depending on me for food as well so I MUST eat in order to maintain my milk supply. That is why I love the WW program, it is not a "diet" it is truly a change in "lifestyle". You CAN eat and are encouraged to do so.....I am just eating the right stuff now.<br />
<br />
This is an example of what I typically have every morning: <br />

My Tip of the Week: If you love chips, you have GOT to get these. (I get them a Sam's Club) They are Veggie Chips with Ranch and they taste JUST LIKE any fatty chip. You get 38 Chips for only 3 Points! <br />

It is fun to cheer on the USA as well as hear all the amazing stories of the athletes (from the US and other countries). <br />
As part of the Olympics, I ALSO love the "Parent" commercials they have been showing. You know, the <br />
P & G ones. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
As a parent myself and watching/hearing the stories, I would love to talk to one of the Olympiad's parents. I mean, when did they realize they had an Olympic athlete? Especially the young athletes (the ones in their teens), when did they (as parents) decide it was ok to allow their child to forgo studies and focus on their sport? I would think that that would be a giant leap of faith and probably one time or another were criticized for allowing their child to spend that many hours focusing on a sport. </div>

John Michael is going for <span style="color: yellow;">GOLD</span> in Swimming. In all seriousness, JM has exploded in swimming this summer. HE. LOVES. IT. He has absolutely no fear of the water. This is an incredible improvement from last year. We have a neighborhood pool only 2 doors down and we have been taking full advantage. Before Matthew was born, swimming was my relief, and we were out there almost daily! </div>
