After the surgery - 11 + hours

Gary is finally out of surgery and is in ICU. He is looking great....breathing on his own already. The surgery took 11 hours. They had to cauterize and then remove each blood vessel that was attached to the tumor. But in the end, they removed the tumor whole, so that's a great thing.

I cannot express how grateful Alyssa and I are for the many friends who came to stay and keep us company. Who could have ever imagined the time this would take??? I love a surgeon who is slow and meticulous though. We are so blessed.

I'm going back into the ICU until 6 AM and then I will head home for sleep. They don't allow phones or computers in ICU, so I'll be out of touch until tomorrow.

Love to you all,
Kay
