Headed to Recovery

We were notifed around 8:30 that the surgery was complete and that it would be a couple of hours before we could see her.  Dr. Alexander met with us and discussed the details of the surgery.  He stated that the surgery "went beautifully" and that he was very pleased with the outcome.  To summarize there were five tumors removed which were located in the lower right quadrant of her pelvis as indicated by the scans.  This is good news because this means that there were no new areas involved.  The HIPEC (chemo wash)  was administered after the surgical procedure.  The Doctor felt the chemo wash was the perfect application for her situation.  Since the surgery started much later than anticipated, we think that she will remain in recovery through the night.  Please continue to pray for her recovery and specifically for a restful night.  Thanks to everyone for their comments...it is a clear reminder of how much she is loved.
