Surgery went very well
Just wanted to post a quick update. This is actually Dad. Mom is in ICU with Elizabeth, but I wanted to make update while I had a chance.
Surgery started late, about 11:00 am. First part was about 1.5 hours. After removing the peritoneal lesions that were expected, they explored and found 3 others that were removed. The second part was the liver resection and that took about 3 hours. Other than finding the additional metastesis, everything went as expected.
Elizabeth is doing wonderful! She was fighting to take "breath over the ventilator", so they removed they excabated her and took her off the ventilator about 10 pm. Of course, they are "struggling" to get her insulin drip "under control". We just laugh. It is such a small concern and they all come to realize that is just okay to run her sugars high at a time like this.
More updates from Mom to come. My apoligies for the typing. It has been a long day and at 4:00 am, tough to type.

Thanks for the quick update, Hill family! I was thinking of her all day yesterday; thank God it all went well!
Here's to a speedy recovery and lots of good news forthcoming. You're in my prayers.
I am so happy she is doing well. I thought about her quite a bit yesterday and worried. We love you, Elizabeth.
