While warning us that we are not out of the woods yet and not to be intimidated by how she looks, the surgeon passed on great news about Michelle's surgery today! The surgery went well, even better than he expected. Michelle's stomach is (quote), "nice and flat now" with the removal of all those pesky tumors, over three gallons of excess fluid, and many nonessential organs.
Michelle is currently having a filter put in to help protect her from blood clots as she heals. She will head to the ICU in about an hour or so. She will be sedated and intubated tonight, and pretty drugged up for the next few days. We anticipate that she will be in the hospital for probably 7 to 10 more days.
There is definitely a long road of recovery ahead, but today was a surgery success!
