Mid-Surgery Update

The Nurse Practitioner from the ob-gyn team came out about 30 minutes ago to give me an update -- they were about an hour into the procedure when she came out.

The bone marrow biopsy was first. It went well.

They than started the laproscopic surgery. The infection was pretty messy, after cleaning up the area, it was still not ideal for laproscopic surgery -- the area was "matted down" and they decided to actually open her up for real surgery. She said the incision will be much like a C-section delivery, in fact they will try to use her actual C-section scar as the dotted line to cut on.

The surgery though will now take several hours more before they are done. Look for anoher post when they are finished. We knew this was a possibility, but were really hoping that it wouldn't be the reality.
