packmom Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Arwen is zonked on lidocaine, fentanyl and kektamine tonight. She will spend tonight at least in ICU. The mass on her liver was removed along with her spleen for good measure after a little scare that it might have attached to her diaphram. It came out and she bled very little during surgery, only about 100ml. ( they give 500ml when they donate) Hope that is all she loses. Fingers crossed for no post-op bleeding. Super stars of the day are Dr. London, Dr. Townsend, and Dr. Mc Laughlan. We've had our evening call from our student and shouldn't hear anymore till morning. Need to sleep now....
