Good news- Heidi's surgery is over and she is doing fine. They were able to remove the tumor, and everything went well. They have sent the tumor to pathology, and think there may be live cancer cells in it, which would mean more treatments in the future, but that is all unknown right now. For now we are relieved to know that the surgery is over and she is ok. She is still under anesthesia, so Scott hasn't seen her yet. But she should wake up in the next few hours and then he will get to be with her. It is anticipated that she will be in the special ICU for about 24 hours and then a few more days in the hospital after that. The doctor said he anticipates that her recovery will go well, with no long term effects.
Heidi really appreciated all the emails and phone calls she received recently from everyone expressing their love and concern for her. She wasn't able to reply to the emails, but told me how much each of them meant to her. She really appreciated them! On behalf of Heidi and Scott's family and their families, thank you all so much for your love, support, fasting and prayers!
I'll keep posting as we know more.
