Update from Michael - Wednesday, November 13, 2008

Dear Friends,

Melissa’s two surgeries yesterday went well. The first surgery, performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Loudon, to replace her left skull began about 8:50 a.m. and ended about 10:40 a.m. The MIC-KEY* G-tube installation was completed by 11:05 a.m. by her G.I. doctor, Dr. Katz. Both doctors reported that their surgeries went very well.

At about 11:30 a.m., we were allowed to visit Melissa in the recovery room. She was alert, but in a lot of pain, so they administered a couple of doses of morphine to ease the pain. At about 1:30, she was transferred to the ICU ward, room 620 for a 2-3 day post-op. recovery.

in Him,
Michael
