A very busy morning...mostly spent trying to park in the parking zoo, circling KU Medical Center for an hour trying to find everyone, and running into Amy's surgeon on the elevator (finally). I guess if one needs an escort to find a patient, might as well go right to the top! Anyway, he escorted me to the rest of the family, and I reminded him to wash his hands well before he cut open Amy's head. I have to admit...hearing him laugh out loud (lol to you techie types) was very reassuring, and he guaranteed his best work this morning. He did not appear to be hungover, tired, or fresh from an argument with his wife....all good.
Update 1: Amy has been in the operating room for about an hour now. Prep was about an hour also, so we haven't seen her for about two hours. The surgery is expected to take anywhere from 5 to 7 hours, and we have a nurse liason who will update us approximately every hour. We are expecting one any minute now....
This blog is being presented by Amy Jo Carlson's friends so that all those concerned about Amy's progress in conquering her brain tumor can receive regular updates.
