#2 Out of Surgery

Robynn is out of surgery and in ICU. She will remain there for 2-3 days(no flowers/balloons etc until she is movedL) Brian said the Dr. was very pleased with the surgery. They removed the mass w/out further damage to Robynn and her other organs. The internal bleeding is under control and they expect Robynn to regenerate any blood lost without a problem because she is so physically fit. They have sent the mass to the lab and hope to find out the results by early next week. There was also a very small growth on her spleen that they are going to "watch". The Doctor felt it was too much for Robynns body to address this during this surgery. The mass that was removed was so large that it had been shoving itself up into her diaphragm and literally smashing her stomach down to the size of a silver dollar. She is in a terrible amount of pain and is unable to communicate. Brian is keeping constant vigil and knows the next few weeks are going to be pretty brutal!
Ultimately, they are thankful for the surgery's success and are grateful for everyones love support and prayers! When I have further info I will get it to you.

Love,
S
