Hi All,I AM BACK (although I was never away)......I will continue to update the blog until our girl is better.....I just spoke with Laurie and she had her testing done this morning and will be having the full thoracotomy, which is when they have to make a large incision between the lower ribs to get into an undamaged part, then go up the inside wall to free up the lung and "unstick" it from the chest wall, put in mesh and sew the ribs together with wire. Additionally they will probably go in another way to get to the outside of the rib cage for mesh there. While it doesn't involve her heart stopping again it is still a very big surgery.
She is a maintaining her spirits and will be the first surgery in the morning, which she was glad of......She also said that she ran into the 'infamous' Dr.Cohn while she was at the hospital today, they chatted and he told her that he would be right there with her in surgery - how do you spell RELIEF!!!!! She was very releived, should there be any problem, he can step right in and not miss a thing!
Remember the lavendar tomorrow and LOTS of prayers coz our little lady is going to be in a lot of pain for a while!!!!! I will write more tommorrow after the surgery! 6:49 PM
