She's in Recovery

Dr. Comair just spoke to us (11:10 AM) and told us that she's done and the operation went exactly as planned. She should be waking up now and I'll get to go see her within an hour.

The tonsils of her cerebellum (the lower parts that were causing all the trouble) were significantly lower than he previously thought from the MRI. He coagulated them by passing electrical current through them and they shrunk up into place nicely. He then widened the cervical 1 area and closed with the graft. He was very positive and all smiles.

Now the real struggle will begin. It's out of the doctor's immediate hands and into Liza's. Pray that the pain would be tolerable and under control and that these next few hours would go well for her and she wakes up and gets transferred to the ICU. Thank you. More soon.
