So, (by her request) I've taken over the reigns for H while she's under knife.. I'll do my best to update and inform everyone. About 11:00 we were told the OR called for her, 45 minutes and a break in the chain of command later, she got to pre-op.We said our goodbyes and off she went. As they wheeled her away she shot me a smile and I realized once again, she has more fight in her little finger than I do in my whole body. One of the many reasons I married that girl.They told us the surgery should take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. Now we wait...I'll do my best to update this when she gets in her room and settled. 

I also discussed with her getting a new sign off line like  "good night America" or  "Heather out" we'll work on it...

6/29

Well I can finally exhale after holding my breath for the last 2 1/2 hours. Heather is in recovery and doing well. She should be back in her room in the next hour or two.

I just had a consult with Dr. Sogawa. He seems like a good man, between him and Dr. Cruze they are the best in the world at what they do. I was informed that the surgery went well, and that heathers one and a half feet of intestine was in fact twisted. In an effort to prevent this again, they realigned the intestine and moved her stoma to the other side. They also took a liver biopsy and said it looked good...to the eye that is... I'm sure they'll run a battery of tests on it. All in all it went well, the scar tissue was not as bad as they thought it might be,  and everything in there looks healthy. Heather will probably rest the rest of this evening and be up and Adam in the morning. If there are any new developments I will update this again.
