1:30 pm: We just got a phone call from Anne, our current Patient Communicator. She said that they were working on the last anistomosis (connection between organs). Anne didn’t have any information about what the report from pathology was, but it sounds like they are nearing completion of the Whipple Procedure. And at this point, it’s sounding like they didn’t have to reconstruct the SMV.
Mom has been in surgery for about five hours, and she’s doing well. Mom, we’re so proud of you!
