At 0600 this morning Betsy went down to the preop area. We met with a number if the team members and reviewed the procedure. At 0745, right on time, Betsy went off to the OR. I'll be contacted often during this marathon event. I'll keep you posted.
At just about 0900, Anita the OR nurse reported that the urologist had placed ureteral stents, the anesthesiologist had inserted several lines and Betsy was cradled in the arms of Morpheus. Just moments before her call, Dr. Sardi started surgery. I'll hear more around 1130.
As of 1130 Betsy is doing fine. The next update will come at around 2:30PM.
As of 2:30 Besty is still doing fine. They're taking out cancer cells,as expected. The next update will be at 4:30 PM.
As of 4:30 Besty is still doing fine and cancer cells continue to be whacked.
As of 6:00 PM the team is prepping for the Chemo treatment. So by 8:00 PM they should begin closing. I'll be heading up to Mercy about then so I can catch up with Dr. Sardi when he's done about 9 or so. I'll then catch up with Bets in ICU.
It's doubtful I'll be doing anymore updates today.
