Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 's surgery went well but was long, approximately 8 hours. They ran into a lot of scar tissue which complicated the surgery. They had to remove more of the esophagus than they first thought, as a matter of fact he said they were not able to leave any of it. She is doing well though, sitting up this morning and talking. They expect to put her in a room maybe later today. So it sounds like she is doing exceptional well after a difficult surgery. Will report more as I hear. Maggie ALStart the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hope she continues to do well, an 8 hour operation is quite some operation – hard to grasp that someone can be under for so long – it’s quite amazing really.
