Finally!

Today was the BIG day, Oscar finally had his Bilateral Adrenalectomy. We started our day off by waking up at 3:30am, leaving the house at 4:00am and arrived at M.D. Anderson around 5:00am and checked in. They took Oscar back to get him prepared for the surgery shortly after 5:45am. From there he began his journey to the OPERATING ROOM- where all the good action happened. At 8:02am the incision was made and surgery began......at 12:30pm-I got word that the surgery went well and they were closing the incision site. Waiting...Waiting...And More waiting after that for hour or so until Dr. Grubbs came and spoke to me (she was the operating doctor!) She told me that his adrenal glands where very large like the size of grapefruit when normal is a little bigger than a quarter. WOW..At 5:00pm we were finally settled into a small room on the 3rd floor. Whew- I'm sleepy! Now-It is 20 after 6pm and they are in the middle of giving him an epidural, literally in front of me. Poor thing. I hope this works and his pain will be taken away. His incision sight is pretty long going across his stomach right above his rib cage. He is such a trooper. So long til next time....I have to take care of my hubby love. =}
