The report from the doctor was that the surgery went well today. It took about 6 hours and they were able to remove the majority of the tumor, probably greater than 90%. There was no evidence during surgery of any nerve disruption, and no surprises or obvious complications.
Riley is now in ICU and still sedated and intubated. The ICU is a stressful place to be, Riley has so many IV's, monitors, wires, tubes, etc. All the beeping and alarms will freak you out in a hurry. Tomorrow she will have an MRI of her brain to get an "after" picture and hopefully be extubated by the end of the day/night. Time to try to get some sleep.

Almost couldn't sleep between feedings of my week old baby because I was thinking of you all. I am praying that the monitors will reassure you today that your dear daughter is progressing. I am also praying for rest for you. Lastly, I pray for you to have great confidence in the nurses and doctors of the ICU and their care of Riley.
ReplyDeletePraying for the peace of Christ for you today all the way from KS!
