Hi All:
Been a long, long day but can't imagine what Joan has gone through today. Just spoke to Dr. Song and he said everything went extremely well. They had a difficult time finding a second artery (for blood flow) but after an hour of searching, they found one. It will take another hour to dress and Sucre the wounds then she will head to ICU. I'm hoping to see her in another 2 hours or so. She has been anesthetized since 7:30 this morning so I'm assuming it will take a significant amount of time to come out of it. Assuming no further developments, this will most likely be the last post of the day.
I'm a little premature because I haven't seen her yet but believe God has held her hand today. I know Joan's Mom, Dad and Sister have played a huge role in guiding her to a successful surgery. Based on what I have heard today, I'm afraid Joan is in for a long and painful recovery. Let's hope I'm wrong!!!
Thank you to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It has helped Joan immensely leading up to this day. I will check in with you all tomorrow.
I'm focusing on the phrase, "everything went extremely well", but still mindful of the recovery phase. Thanks for the update Ron. Hope you get some rest so you can share your energy with Joan!
