At about 5 pm Nancy was transferred to the 8th floor ICU. They allowed all three of us to go in and see her for the first time since this morning. We walked in and she gave us a big smile. She looked great, a little pale, a little blood on her nose and lips, but she looked great. She told us that Dr. Billingsley had already come to see her twice. As I said earlier her Dr. told us that she didn't need the ICU, but that it is protocol for a surgery of this type.
She told me that I should take Dorothy and Leonard and go back to the hotel soon. She wanted me to get a good night's sleep and that she wanted her parents to rest after such a long day at the hospital. Here she is, having undergone a brutal bowel prep the night before, had an epidural placed, gone through 5 solid hours of surgery, had half of her liver removed and she's worried about me and her Mom and Dad. This is just a glimpse of what this woman is all about. I am fortunate to know this wonderful person!
The plan for tomorrow is to wait until after 8 AM to see Nancy (shift change is between 7-8). Dorothy and Leonard will visit through the morning and then head back to Eugene. I will stay here with Nancy until she is discharged.
I will post as news is created.
Love and Peace to all of you,
Franz

We are ALL so fortunate to know "this wonderful person" and be inspired by her strength and courage.
Nancy, I am "taking the night shift" (as I do my late night/early morning transcription)and sending you positive thoughts and prayers for a good night's rest, or at least as good a night as can be expected on postop day #1 in the ICU! The reports from the surgeons sound encouraging and we will pray that your recovery progresses smoothly.
Franz, thanks for keeping us so well informed. Please share a hug with Nancy for all us.
