Been a long day...

Sorry for the late post, its been a long day at the hospital, I wont keep you in suspense, Tami is doing good.

The day started early, we got to the hospital and got registered. Me and Sarah went back with her to get prep'd for surgery. Everything was going pretty good, till our Liver surgeon's assistant drop a bomb on us, stating that Strausburg had a family emergency and that he would be getting one of his associates to do the surgery. I nearly craped myself, as did Tami, but we met her, she is a liver specialist too, and seemed pretty confident in the procedure.

So me and Sarah said our see ya laters and went back downstairs to the waiting room. They gave me a little buzzer like at a restaurant waiting on a table. They would ring you with any problems or updates. he first time it buzzed my stomach nearly turned inside out, it was 8:30, they updated us with the fact they were starting the procedure.

An hour and thirty minutes later, just as they said, the buzzed us and told us the colon was done, and buzzed me a little later so we could chat with the surgeon, she seemed real confident and said it was pretty straight forward, and no issues. They removed the main tumor and cleared up a partial blockage on the otherside.

Next the liver, that as well took about exactly the same length of time as they had quoted, and she once again went thru the procedure fine. They removed 10-12 tumor/lesions some from the liver some from her "gut sack" (thats not a medical term). They had to leave 2 on her liver as they were in a touch area, all is not bad tho, because they removed so much, they figure they can target those directly with chemo.

Anyways, will post more tomorrow with a fresh brain, gotta get back to the ICU room, I have a recliner with my name on it for tonight.
