Kaelyn was out of surgery by 8:30 PM tonight. We were all very suprised to have it be finished so quickly. The surgeon said that she did great. The tumor was huge, but it looks like he was able to remove it all. The new liver went in very smoothly and actually looked like it was beginning to function.
We were soon settling into bed when we received a page from the ICU at about 11:00 PM. We were informed that Kaelyn needed to go back into surgery. Her main portal vein was not showing good enough blood flow. So they needed to go back in and reconstruct and redirect the vein to the main portal artery. She is still in surgery right now, it is about 1:30 AM on Sunday. We have received an update from the OR and she is doing fine. We don't know how much longer she will be in surgery. I will write again after she comes out.
