Well he is finally out of surgery! It went a couple of hours longer than anticipated and I was worried sick since about 3:30, the latest time I thought I'd hear from the doctor. He finally came and saw me right out of surgery and I could tell he was pretty tired. He had pictures of the tumor an a cell phone. WOW. That's all I could say when I saw it. No wonder he was in so much pain. I'm just so glad that thing is out of him! I'm not posting the pictures anywhere because it's just too gross but those of you who like that sort of thing can message me and I'll be happy to gross you out!
Lorne is currently resting comfortably in our hospital room finishing up a blood transfusion. He's tired and cold and he can't feel his legs because of the epidural. He should warm up and start to feel his legs within the next few hours. His blood pressure is crazy low too, like 84/43 but they say that will all normalize over the next few hours as well.
The doctor should be coming to our room soon and answering questions and giving us instructions for the recovery period.
Honestly, I feel so incredibly blessed right now. Thank you to all our friends and family for making this possible. We aren't out of the woods yet, but we can work on that now without all the pain. I can't wait to see Lorne back to his old self again! I miss him!
