Surgery Update Dec 9 2004

We just got back from the hospital not long ago.  What was supposed to be a morning surgery ended up starting at about 3:00 p.m.  She got into recovery at about 5:30 and into her room a little before 7:00.  The doctor reported that it went well again.  He searched the lung for any other problems he might find and came up empty.  That is good.  He also reported that they did a test on a small portion of the tumor and the test showed it is dead tissue.  The full test will be done by next week but at this point it appears the chemo had some effect. That would be excellent if the tumor is completely dead.  That doesn't guarantee the rest would be, but it would be a good positive sign.  Her room number is 3124.  The phone is 387-3124.  She is pretty groggy tonight but I'm sure starting tomorrow she would enjoy calls or visits.  Thanks for all you do and for your prayers.  We love you all.
