Champ188 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Just a quick note to let everyone know that Donna sailed through the kidney removal without a hitch (or backlash). Procedure took 3.5 hours, which nearly put ME six feet under, but I pulled thru too. LOL .At present, she's snoozing beside me in one heck of a fancy hospital room. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were at Babler's bed and breakfast joint. No wait, that's not Table Rock that I see out the window. It's the Arkansas River in Tulsa. Anyway, surgeon had nothing but good news to report. First, there was no sign of cancer in the area surrounding the kidney. So whatever the nature of the tumor inside the kidney, it was contained there and now is 100% gone. Second bit of good news is there was very little internal bleeding during the procedure, which is always a matter of concern with that particular operation. Doc said she might have lost a tablespoon of blood total. Anyway, we're praising God for the results and looking forward to coming home, hopefully Thursday but certainly Friday. Thanks so much, guys, for all your prayers and well wishes. You're great folks one and all. See you on the water soon. James

Bill Babler Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 That's the kind of Breaking-News we have all been hoping to hear. Champ, how long is she going to have to remain in the hospital and what is the length of recovery before she is out flinging steel?

techo Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I had kept checking, but was afraid to pry. I am glad you posted the update. Funny how the little forum group starts to feel like family. Tell sis I miss her. Tim Carpenter
