Beth is out of surgery

Beth is now out of surgery but as of 8PM would be recovering in the surgical unit for about 3 hours. They hope to move her back to her original room but no guarantee. Her surgeon came out and spoke with us for quite a while. He felt very confident that he removed all of the clots that were causing problems around the lung. He said they will definitely be managing her pain very carefully, she will actually continue to be on an epidural for a few days to be sure she is comfortable during this intense healing stage. He assured us she will get a restful evening and we will be able to see her in the morning. Let's all pray that this is the last invasive procedure Beth will have to endure and that it fixes this problem for good. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and thanks for your positive thoughts, keep 'em coming!
