Just a quick update on Sherrie....she had surgery on Tuesday...14 1/2 long hours, can you imagine? She went in at 8:30 AM and came out just before 11 PM. The surgery went well. Bill kept me updated all day which I REALLY appreciated! The plan was to leave her in a drug-induced coma until Friday, but as usual plans didn't work. Her blood pressure dropped extremely LOW so in order to get it up they had to bring her out of the coma. So on Wednesday after less then 12 hour out of surgery she woke up. According to Bill she is alert and doing great! They took her off the ventilator in the afternoon. I know that is a huge relief. Bill got to see the new tongue and for the lack of a better description he said it looks like chicken...It is white?? For some reason I thought muscle tissue would be pink???
He is planning to go back down on Saturday and spend the weekend there. Like he said leaving her on Wednesday was one of the hardest things he has ever had to do....he called me earlier and had talked to both the nurse and the doctor and she is doing great!
She will probably be there until next Friday or later but thanks to my friends for all their prayers...they do work!
