Great News!
This is Steve speaking for Barbara. Surgery complete and surgeon says best possible result! Obstruction caused by a single localized tumor which they were able to remove and then reconnect the bowel. Surgeon expects Barbara will do very well. She will remain in the hospital for a week, maybe two, for recovery and then home to Sonoma. When the surgeon came out and told me this I lost all restraint and hugged her right there in front of everybody! And I gotta say it - along with Dr. May the surgeon, the nursing staff here at Kaiser Hospital, Santa Rosa, both on 4 North and in the OR, are awesome!
THANK YOU for the good news. I will sleep better tonight and my prayers will keep coming. ANne

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and comments. I'm quite groggy right now, but that's the important part until I get my head together.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers have been with you, your family AND your doctors. I was so happy to read the good news this morning. Wishing you nothing but great days ahead !! Love and hugs to all, Virginia
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating for Barbara. Glad it all went so well. Hope she gets to go home sooner rather than later.
