Casey's surgery went well. (Both of them)...
Her first, taking over 13 hours.
The 2nd (to remove 2+ liters of blood and fluid from her abdomen) also went well. During this surgery the doctors also removed a blood clot (larger than a golf ball) from her duodenum.
As of 1/5/09, she is also possibly facing a diagnosis of C-DIFF.
As always, your prayers and comments are deeply appreciated.
From your hearts to God's Ears.
