Ok, so the call finally came. Surgery is over. Dr. Sachs came out and gave us the run down. He said everything went very well. They were able to get a really good correction on the spine and she lost very little blood while doing it. He said the general surgeon was just finishing up the final stitching and that they should be waking her up and moving her to her ICU room pretty soon (not for any critical needs, but just normal procedure after following up this type of surgery). It should be less than an hour from now when we'll finally get to go in and see her. They want to make sure she is fully "awake" before they let us in.
There was no need to use any donor blood. The little blood that she did lose, they were able to put it back in her.
Great news to hear...but I'm not going to get that "big sigh of relief" until I get to go in there and see her. I'll post a little after that and if I'm lucky, I'll try to get her to write a post tonight (don't count on it...).
Thanks again for every prayer and act of kindness. That's what got her to where she is now.
