Surgery Updates

March 14, 2012:

From Derek:
I wanted to provide a brief update on Aimee's surgery progress. We made it to the hospital this morning at 930 AM. Aimee had her pre-op work done and then we had to wait for a couple of hours until her surgery was set to begin. She left for surgery at 1:30 PM and the first surgeon said she would stop out and give us an update after she completed her part. 
The first surgeon just stopped out at 3:30 PM and told us some GREAT news! She said that Aimee's surgery went great. She also told us that she examined Aimee's lymph nodes and there is no spread to them (the BEST news we could get at this point). She said the next surgeon will likely be out in a few hours with the final surgery update. Then she will need to recover for an hour or so before we get to see her.
Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. 
More updates to come!

Surgery  Update #2:
We just had Aimee's 2nd (and final) surgeon stop in. He said things went extremely well and he was able to complete his final part of the surgery. He said she will be extremely sore (due to it being on both sides), but other than that he expects that she should be able to come home in a day or two. Knowing how motivated Aimee is, she will likely want to try and come home tomorrow (likely late afternoon or evening). The Surgeon said it is 50/50 chance, otherwise she will likely come home Friday sometime. 
We will be able to see her in about an hour the Dr. said. I will post one final update once that happens. 
Once again, thank you all for the support and prayers. 
 
Surgery Update #3:
 
We were able to go see Aimee in her room. She was awake, but definitely a bit groggy. She had gotten a call already from her first surgeon to let her know how well the first part of the surgery had gone. She was ready for some ice chips (since she hasn't been able to eat or drink anything since early this morning). Myself and family members visited briefly before she was ready to try and go to sleep for the night. She was happy to have the surgery over with and ready to start her initial recovery.
