More updates from TusconTucson. Seems that the prep is taking quite a while. This isn’t just some simple knock-out-let’s-go situation. He’s got a few parsecs of lines, drips and hoses inside of him now and is about to get an epidural. Guess those things take time.
The surgeon just spoke with Mike and said that this can go anywhere from four to eight hours. He fully expects to wind up having to take out a few important organs, like a kidney and probably the spleen, including a decent amount of the bowel.
At best, we’re looking at midnight before they stitch him up. They’ll likely keep him zonked until Saturday, so we won’t have anything else to report until then. So sleep well, think happy thoughts, and we’ll resume in the morning.
