Surgery is DONE! We haven't got to see her yet but the doctor just came out and said all closed up and in recovery. Pancreas looked real bad. He said he could tell she'd been suffering a long time. They were able to get 2500 cells/kg. Average goal is 3000/kg. We will only know in three months the true diabetes outlook. Some patients have 5000cells/kg viable and still have diabetes and others only have 2000cells/kg and are insulin independent. Results are very patient variable. Thank you all for your love, support and prayers during this trying day. We love you all and are so glad the surgery is over. The next three days are going to be really rough but surgery hurdle cleared.
