This will be the short update because I am exhausted from all the pacing that I did today. Jenn got off to a rocky start to surgery but otherwise things were managed to work out fine. Her blood was still a bit thinner than they had hoped but they didn't know until they had already opened her up. She was in surgery for almost 7 hours and then recovery for 2 but they were successful in removing all that was visible to them. They are very confident but still say that they would recommend at least 3 radiation session after which doesn't matter because she is already set up for them for her back and hips. The medications they had her on to keep her sedated have been lifted because they want her to wake up on her own. As of 10 minutes ago when I left her room, she hadn't opened her eyes but they said it could be anywhere from 12-32 hours before she would because of all the meds having the wear out of her system and how worn out her body is. She is back in the ICU until they get permanent room set up for her.
Tomorrow is going to be a semi busy day here since Grandpa, Meg, Jenn's dad and Mike are coming. Dr. H is going to be talking to Mike about the marrow again and we will also get our finally decision on Jenn keeping her leg. We are keeping out fingers crossed but when if comes down to it, we were warned in the very beginning she might loose it and it would only be a matter of time before it HAD to go. We will know more tomorrow about the game plan from here and I will update you when I get the chance.
Thank you for all your continuous prayers and support.
