We just met with Dr. Kim and he said everything went as well as expected! He removed several abnormalities (dried & liquid blood and malformed blood vessels) from the lower portion of the brainstem which was not involved in the original operation.
The monitoring of her systems appears good at this time. The caution now is to get her to awaken and see if she is responsive. We are hopeful that this may take an hour or so, but it may take up to 24 hours.
This next hour is VERY critical, this is the time when she hemorrhaged after the first surgery two years ago.
The next step is to move her to the NSICU unit for the night. It may be several days before we know how she responds to this operation. (Lung function and responsiveness)
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for the past 11 hours, but please don't stop, we are not out of the woods yet! Keep storming the heavens my friends!!
Miracles are hopefully in the making!
Love, The Sedlaks
Praising God the surgery is complete and continuing to pray for Cathy. Lord, protect Cathy from complications and let this outcome be MORE successful than expected. AMEN!
