Nothing can be easy with Tess and surgery, of course.
About an hour after Tess went in, one of the nurse anesthetists came out to visit. Tess suffered from another bronchospasm like she had last May. Basically, while moving her to the end of the operating table (she had to be down at a certain end), her airway seized up and she couldn't breath. This only lasted for about 20 seconds and they got her breathing again and everyone felt good to continue.
Needless to say, this has us concerned for the next two procedures in February and April. I am confident we'll have much more to share on this topic after visiting with the doctors. The four or five updates we've received since the spasm have all reported her stable and in good condition.
In the good news department: We just heard from the operating room nurse and Dr. Novais has not cut through Tess' femur. He's closing her up now and then it'll take about 30 minutes to apply the cast. We should get to visit with the doctors between noon and 12:30 and then hopefully see Tess shortly after that.
