Still Waiting

It is after 6 PM. We have been expecting the plastic surgeon to come through the door with the news that the surgery has been successfully completed. No word at all since the 11:30 AM report from Dr. Christian. I have been pacing for the past half hour. I have reached my limit.

The O.R. finally called a moment ago. The good news is that Kelly is doing very well. Dr. Caterson is pursuing the DIEP reconstruction, which spares the most abdominal muscle and is the procedure Kelly wanted. The bad news is that the surgery will continue for another couple of hours. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

Thank God that Tom and Eric are so steady. I have been extremely patient, but once I reach my limit it is easy for me to go off the deep end. I don't want to yell at anybody and I don't want to pace outside the O.R. doors. I also don't want to sit/walk/pace or kill any more time in any way, shape or form. Enough is enough.

Okay......I promise to get a grip and hold it in a little longer. After all, in the grand scheme of things we have the easiest part of the day.

Kelly seems well in hand, but I could sure use an extra prayer or two.

We will post again as soon as we have more information.
