Angie’s surgeon (Dr. Jacobsen, I think) just finished talking to me. She said everything went fine. They didn’t start until about 10, so that is why I haven’t heard anything until now. The surgery was successful. When they first made the incision, there was some fluid they were concerned about, so they’ve sent it off to be tested. One of the cysts did have a rupture, so it is likely that the fluid is just from that, so they aren’t too worried.<\/p>\n
She’s got her epidural in and it will probably stay in for the next few days. The doctor said typically patients have the epidural in for 3 days, 4 at the most. They’ll be moving her to the ICU in the next couple hours. (Right now she is in Recovery.) There isn’t anything wrong, they just want to send her to the ICU so that she has a nurse assigned to just her. They told us this plan before we even started. They would have sent her straight to the ICU, but (as usual) they are waiting for a bed to open up. I won’t be able to see Angie until she moves to the ICU.<\/p>\n
So, it looks like we’ll be here for a few days. I plan on going back to work so I don’t burn up all my sick leave, but I’ll stay with Angie as much as I can. My parents are (conveniently) in town, so my mom will be helping out with the vigil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
