Finally over...

Dr. Adams finally came down to speak to us, Sharon is on her way to recovery too!   Dr Adams seemed pleased with the results, he believes that he did get everything.  He did say it was a difficult surgery, but he seemed very optomistic  They did have to remove more of her pancreas than orginally thought, which may be why the surgery took longer than expected.  He was also able to remove the tumor from the blood vessel without having to patch or replace the blood vessel, which is also good news

Dr. Adams said that Sharon is doing well, she'll be in recovery for about 1 1/2-2 hours and probably sleep most of the night. I'll update again tomorrow morning when Brad and I come back to let you know how she is feeling.

I always knew Sharon was a strong person - but enduring a nearly 12-hour operation?? WOW!

And I think of Butch and the family that had the difficult job of waiting for news all day - talk about strength! WOW!

And Dr. Adams - what an incredible blessing he is!

Continuing to keep each of you in my thoughts and prayers!
