She made it!!

Dr. Sutherland came out a few minutes ago and told us that the surgery is complete and that Jennie should be making her way to recovery shortly. Dr. Sutherland thinks the surgery went well and hopefully there will be a noticeable improvement within several weeks as Jennie begins to heal.

He elected not to do the liver biopsy he was planning on, he said because he was concerned about bleeding. He was also on his way to another case, and he said her blood sugar stayed low the entire surgery without any insulin. I think both of these may have been factors in him choosing not to do the biopsy as well.

Anyway, the surgery is over and now she can begin to recover. I expect her to be out of it for the next day or two, but hopefully she will notice a difference as she begins to heal and trys to eat in the next few days and weeks. Keep praying that this surgery will have finally made her pain tolerable and that she will heal quickly.
