<< Hi all,

He did very well.

The surgery lasted four hours and he is in the recovery room. He was

supposed

to go to a stepdown unit but they did not have beds. So he will spend the

night in recovery. Dr. Vogel did a Distal(tail) pancreatectomy and a

spleenectomy. He called me in the waiting room and told me that it looked

like a bomb had gone off in there. He said there was an enormouse amount of

inflamation and several pseudocysts. He lost a couple of units of blood but

that they were trying not to give him any to replace it. Unless his

hematacrit goes down. I talked to him and he has an NG tube and two JP's

that

I could see but he sounded fine. He was appropriate and alert.

I hope you are all doing well.

Thanks for taking the time & making the effort for giving an update. Glad to

hear Jim is doing well; sounds like the surgery was definitely needed. Hope Jim

( & you) make a speedy, uneventful recovery.

Dear Dodie please give Jim my best wishes for a speedy recovery. I hope that

this surgery will make him pain free. I am so glad that it is over. Please

tell him that we are thinking of him and to hurry back and tell us all about

his surgery. Thanks, Shirley

Hi Dodie,

Thanks so much for the update. My heart goes out to you both. That is the

exact surgery I has last September 1999. I, also, had so many tubes coming

and going that I was scared to move. It is hard to feel that the surgery was

the right thing to do, especially when I felt so bad. God gave our bodies

much resiliency with an ability to heal miraculously fast.

I will keep both of you in my prayers asking that God keep a guardian angel

in constant vigilance in the road to recovery ahead of Jim. Bless you both.

Dear Dodie,

I am so glad that you were able to give us an update. I really wanted

to wish Jim well before his surgery but before I knew it the day was here.

You both are in my thoughts!!
