Midway update? Maybe

It's about midway through... maybe. 

They took him back right at 7 am. We were here at 5 am. No traffic but a nice bit of rain on the way down. 

Surgery "began" at 7:56 according to my text alerts. And the nurse said Dr. You (Big Sis) got started at 8:37. All was good at the 10 am update. 

The 12:30 update was that Dr. Fournier (Wise One) had sent four sites off to pathology. One was the spleen (expected), one in the left paracolic gutter (one of the recurrent tumors were previously there), one in the "lower quadrant," and the omentum (again expected).  

I was surprised to hear that they had his surgery slated to go until 10 pm from the nurse, but she emphasized that it might not be that late. 

Everything has been going as expected and his vitals are strong. Thank you all for the prayers. I will try to update again when done. But seeing as I have been up since 3, it kind of depends on how late surgery runs if I will have the energy.
