So Jennie came out of surgery at 5:38 cst, but she is still not awake from the anesthesia. Dr. Sutherland seemed very pleased with the entire operation and in fact finished earlier than expected. He was able to harvest a large number of islet cells and thought they probably took well.
The only minor problem could be that they gave her Heparin, which could lead to bleeding and possibly having to go back to surgery to correct the problem. From what I understand though, this is fairly common and the chances or her bleeding again aren't very large.
Again it appears that Jennie may come out of this as well as we could expect, and much better than we had worried about. Only time will truly tell. Thanks again for all the Prayers and support!

Thanks for keeping us posted!! I have faith this will turn out well for my Jennie -- I just know it! Tell her she is so strong and beautiful!!!!!!!!
AAAHHHH! I am so happyyyy! U guys r total troopers for actually getting through the waiting without rational things happening such as going crazy in agonizing wait and so forth. Anyways, if you get this, tell Jenny she is much loved and ask her what she dreamed about. So Wall-E was good? It was probably a good idea for you guys to go do something instead of letting pressure build during the wait. Congrats on sticking with her not that you weren't going to. And Andy, you may not hear this as much from other people because Jenny is the main focus right now, but you are loved by all of us and I am excited to hear your relief (Lydia called) and I can't wait to see you all in a couple months!
