Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 Hello All, [For those of you who have received this e-mail two or three times already, I apologize. But on my end, it doesn't seem to have gone out. So, I'm trying it again.] Isabelle called a short while ago to inform us that Steve came through his surgery with flying colors. The surgery lasted 3.5 hours, and according to the doctor, all went very well. He is, however, spending a great deal more time in recovery than average due to his severe sleep apnea. Apparently, whenever he drifts off to sleep his oxygen in take dips below an acceptable level. As a result, he is wearing an oxygen mask and is being monitored closely. They expect to keep him in recovery another hour or so and then will return him to his room. I will keep you posted of any further developments. Also, for those of you who have heard of Steve's concerns regarding the " leak test, " we have good news. The doctor, being well aware of the problem with the technicians, had the test performed today. I'm not clear whether the doctor did it himself; but, the end result is that Steve won't have to deal with the test and the technicians tomorrow.
