Recovery!

Just a quick update. The surgery concluded last night around 9 pm - a 14 hour surgery!

She is in the Intensive Care Unit and will remain there for a few days and then be transferred to her own room for the remainder of her stay. She is strong and stable, but not awake yet. She will be sedated pretty heavily until later today.

The cancer had spread to the bladder, the surgeon removed it, as well as the rectum and her sacrum. The bladder removal was unexpected but you can live without one. Modern Medicine is very interesting. The rest of the surgery went pretty well, any surgery where you wake up and you are still breathing is good for me.

Recovery is the next obstacle. If you are planning on visiting, please call me prior to driving to the LA area and we can work out accommodation arrangements.

THANK YOU for all the love, energy and prayers. Keep it coming!

More information to follow as she continues to get better. Thanks again.
