Barbara has a low grade fever and elevated white blood cell count. She’s still intubated and sedated.
Final Barbara update for the night
25 MarThe surgery was utterly complication free, and could not possibly have gone better. It was long, about seven or so hours. Because of the lateness of the completion time, the decision was made to leave her intubated for the night, and save the stress of extubation for the morning. Thanks to all for your concern, good thoughts, prayers, and workings. I’m beat, and gonna go fall on my face for a few hours in a nearby hotel.

25 MarNo news yet. Barbara is still in surgery. I am not surprised or concerned by that.
Barbara is in surgery
25 MarShe left for the OR about 11:05 am. The surgery is a long procedure. Shortest estimate I have heard is 6 hours. Longest was potentially 10 hours.

25 MarBarbara has been moved to surgery prep. Surgery is imminent. Time for prayers, etc!
Barbara’s surgery
25 MarIt got bumped, again. This time it’s a kidney transplant that got OR priority. Sigh. We are going to get this done, but right now, best estimate is “early afternoon”.

What a day…
24 MarKeystone Kops anyone? If doctors talked to one another …
First it was 10:30am, then 11:00am, then 12:00pm, then at 1:00pm it was cancelled. There were “reasonable” medical reasons for the delays, but that doesn’t change the frustration.
Rescheduled for 9:00am tomorrow Thursday 25-March. We’ll see.
BTW: My Windows Vista netbook refused to boot all day. Finally got it going about 2 hours ago.
