Surgery finished around 10:00 this morning. Not sure exactly what time it was started, he was whisked away about 7:00. The surgeon was very pleased with the way it all went. Prior to surgery, the plan was to go into the right lung and remove two nodules, but after a scan during surgery, the Dr. decided a nodule in the left lung would be much easier to access. Right now, he is resting comfortably in ICU. I was with him for the first hour in ICU and he was good. In and out of sleep, but conversing coherently. He has an epidural to manage the post-op pain. He also has a drainage tube in the lung, and must stay in ICU as long as that is draining. Typically, that lasts 24-48 hours. The nodule was sent to pathology and we're told we'll have results in 2-3 days...more waiting.
He was already asking for something to eat, but was told nothing until dinner. He's gonna be alright!
Thank you Willie Faye and Kim for waiting with me during surgery. It made the wait so much easier. Thanks Chrissy, for making sure Daniel and Mary made it to school.
Hold tightly those you love.
Love you all,
Kim
