The surgery went very well and was ahead of schedule. B woke up and told us her belly was cold (she has an epidural in place at the moment) and is resting as comfortably as possible.
Even offering to show all the nurses and surgeons her new, blue operation socks. The kidney has been removed and a catheter port has been run beneath her skin so that she will not require a new IV each time she returns to CHEO. She will likely be on the epidural until Wednesday and recovering in hospital for the full week.Chemo treatments to come but we must wait for the biopsy report to find out how intensive and for how long. In the meantime, we wonder how we will answer her questions about why she is in pain now--but didn't hurt beforehand. For now, however, we are just relieved that the surgery was successful.
Many thanks for all the warm wishes and heartfelt prayers. We are overwhelmed by everyone's love and support.
Absolutely relieved that all went well. Give that precious daughter of yours a big kiss from us. We're keeping the prayers coming. xox
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear guys!! Give Miss B a massive get well kiss from us! And tell her we're looking forward to checking out those cool socks... baby hipster ;-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Miss B - what a trooper! We're thrilled to hear that the surgery went well. if you, Pas, Miss B or Avie need anything at all, we're just a 15 min car ride away. We make good babysitters too! Let's kick the big C to the curb!
