Dr. Jones just stopped by the waiting room to tell Ken and me that everything went well. He was able to remove the upper lobe of the left lung thorascopically (that's with the three little holes) instead of having to make a major incision. This is good news, of course, because Ray will recover so much more rapidly.
We left home this morning at 8 AM, planning for 1 PM surgery that didn't start until 5:15 PM, so I'm just about exhausted, so I'm going to stop with this short posting.
Ken and I will stay here until they bring Ray to his room, then we'll go on back to the Red Roof Inn, because Ken has to leave agt 4 AM tomorrow morning to catch his plane back to the West Coast.
Will post more late tomorrow. Love and gratitude to all, Kay

Wonderful! So glad they were able to do the small incision - we'll get you home sooner!

ReplyDeleteAll the best, to you and to Ray. May you both get much needed rest.
ReplyDeleteThat is the operation to have! Every step of this ordeal has had the best possible outcome. Let's hope we can say this for the recovery!
ReplyDeletePoor Ken. But you, Kay? GET SOME SLEEP!
