Lesly Update

Here is an update from Glen:

Well it was a long day 6+hour surgery. They were able to get all of the tumor out without harming her kidney. We will not know the pathology results until the middle of next week. There was one small problem when they placed the central line they nicked a vain. They did not realize that until they opened her belly and found a lot of fluid. So now she has another scar on her side where they went in and fixed the problem. She lost a liter of blood during that time. They also decided not to try another central line because of stress. She also now has a chest tube for drainage, as we see it that is not to big of a deal. We will have to see how her swelling goes for the next few days as they might have to open her back up so she does not rip things. She is in the ICU on a vent now and will most likely be on the vent for a few days so she does not put too much stress on the incision. She will be in the ICU for at least 4 days if all goes well. We will just hope that it goes that way. While she is in ICU we are requesting that all visitors wait until we are out of ICU. I have increased my estimation for the length of our hospital stay to about 3 weeks for now, that could be shorter or longer depending on how things go. The scar tally is going up. The one on her side is 4” and the one on her belly goes from one side to the other. I will try to keep people updated as I can, got a long road ahead.
