Beth Surgery Update - 7:00pm EST

Going on hour number 12. No update from the nurse in the last couple of hours. Not worried just anxious. Dr Stallnecker actually tried to talk Beth out of the Tram Flap surgery last week. He was worried about how long the surgery would take and the increased complications that come from such a long surgery. I can't stop thinking about his hesitation during that office visit.

For those interested, we are Community North Hospital up in Fishers. She will be in the hospital for 3-5 days depending on how she recovers. She will be out of commission for at least 2 weeks and total recovery takes about 6-8 weeks. She will have at least one more minor surgery after she has recovered to complete the procedure. Beth is a quick healer. She went river rafting 3 weeks after Lily was born. So we are hoping that she recovers in time to enjoy some of the summer.

I hope she is out of surgery soon...American Idol starts in an hour.
