Quilting Heidi Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Cheri asked that I update you all on the progress of Elmer's surgery which started at 8:25 this morning. He is doing well and one tumor is almost out. They will be working on his liver next. Please keep him and Cheri in your prayers! They need us right now. Cheri will try to update later tonight.

lisae Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the update, Heidi. I've been following Cheri's updates on Caring Bridge, too. Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts their way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just got another post through Caring Bridge. The dr. is working on closing and then they will conference with the dr. I'm praying they were able to get more tumors. Cheri said it would be a while for them to close.

Quilting Heidi Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just in from Cheri. Praising God for his blessings!!!!! Keep them in your prayers it is working. The surgeon says that she achieved the best possible outcome! The adrenal,kidney and mass all came out in 1 piece. They removed part of the liver and the tumor had not grown into the inferior vena cava...it was just pressing against it. They had said he would be on a ventilator for 2 to 3 days but he is off of it now! I will get to see him when he is moved to ICU and can spend the night in there with him. Thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers! I will update when I know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
