Progress

Hi everyone, Ken's surgery has been delayed. He actually just went into the OR at about 4:00. They say it should be about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, so I will get back to you as soon as we know anything. They originally asked us to be here at 10:30 and Ken didn't get to eat after midnight and he couldn't drink anything after 8:30. So you know Ken, he wanted something to drink when we got here. Then we waited till 11:30 when they came out and told us the doc was running late from his first surgery. They told us to come back at 1:30 and told Ken he still couldn't eat or drink anything. By 3 when they were finally prepping him, he was ready to cancel and come back tomorrow so he could go have a drink. But he stayed and all is well. His pre-tests went well. For all you women out there, they put an epidural in his back. They said so they could control his pain. They already warned us that they might be in ICU (Intensive Care) for at least tonight. We'll see when he comes out of surgery. I'll write more later when I know more. Eat and drink something fun tonight in Ken's honor. Love you all. Bev
