I know many of you are waiting to hear how Sharon's surgery is going so I wanted to give a brief update to you all while we are waiting patiently in the Surgical Family Waiting Area. We don't know too much, but this is what we do know:
- Butch told me that the surgery officially started at 10:15.
-One of the nurses in the OR calls to us every two hours. (12, 2, and 4 p.m. so far)
-Each call we have received has been very positive.
--During the 12p.m. call Butch found out that a liver biopsy was done and it was negative! (we're assuming this was a routine procedure)
--During the 2p.m. call there was another positive report and they were preparing to remove the gallbladder.
--During our most recent call (4p.m.), the nurse reported that Sharon was continuing to do great! The surgery team is moving slowly and taking their time. She said that it may be another 2-4 hours of surgery.
-We will receive another update around 6p.m. We also hope to have a better idea of when the surgery will be over and when Sharon will be in recovery.
That's all the information we really have at this moment, please continue to keep Sharon in your thoughts and hope for the surgery to continue like it has, smoothly! I'll post an updated entry later this evening when we know more.

Thanks for the update. She has been in my thoughts all day and the positive status is a comfort. I will be happy when she is out of surgery and can hear it for herself. Hang in there.
Hello Val,

Val -
So thankful for your update. My heart goes out to everyone waiting there in the surgical waiting room. It's been hard enough sitting here at home waiting!
And Sharon, once you are home recovering and going back and reading the blog entries, I want you to know this . . . you know someone has a very special place in your heart when on the day of their major surgery, you find yourself pacing the floor worrying about their well-being, finding it extremely difficult to concentrate on little else but that person and how they are. That "someone" is you, Sharon!
