Quick Surgery Update

From Craig:

“I just spoke with doctor Everett by phone from the operating room, she said “good news everything looks great in here” no evidence of cancer implants, she has examined the liver and believes it is ok! My understanding is the news is very good, she said she is not going to have to do a lot more. [this was during surgery]

[After surgery] “I just finished talking with Tammi’s surgeon, the operation is done and Tam should be awake in an hour or so. It was an optimal debulking (meaning there is no visible cancer left), the best possible outcome! The surgeon said that if she hadn’t known that Tammi had cancer she would not have guessed that she did when they opened her abdominal cavity (must be the Cantron). (You’ll have to ask Beth about that!) SO WE ARE THANKFUL TO GOD AND ALL WHO PRAYED FOR US. I will give a further update after we see Tam in the recovery room.” —Craig

          Here in Vermont too! I’ve had a pretty incredible day today. This a.m. I was just barely able to sit up. This afternoon ALL my tubes are gone and I am WALKING AROUND! I might go home tomorrow afternoon. Can you believe that? I was hoping for Saturday at the earliest.
