Part One Over.....

Just spoke with Dr. Morgan and the surgical portion is over. Pancreas, spleen,gallbladder and portion of intestines out. Incision is closed. There is a tube through the skin into the portal vein. The pancreas is off to the lab for harvesting of islet cells, which will take about four hours. Bailey is intubated and moving to ICU to wait for islets to come back. Then they will take her to interventional radiology to transfuse the islets.
Dr. Morgan said it was a straight forward case, lots of pancreatic scarring but hopes there will be a good islet yield.  Thank you everyone for prayers and kind words.  The big part of surgery is over.
