We are and have been at Atlanta Medical since this past Monday. It is now Friday and it is 10:45am. They just came and got Shelb from his room #857 at 10:40am. They are taking him to the O.R. I am staying in the room with all our stuff, for anyone that may look for me.
They will be removing the mass, the gall bladder and atleast part of the spleen. If he has a lot of bleeding the Dr. will remove the whole spleen.
I will update once I hear. If I don't hear from them every so often, I will have the nurses check on the progress. The Dr. is expecting it to take awhile because he wants to take it slow.
For those that haven't heard, we got the results back from Henry on the biopsy. It stated that it was fibromatosis. The Dr. told us that it isn't malignant it does however grow amongst itself. It just gets larger to the point it pushes everything against other organs and out of place. One thing is it will continue to grow unless we get it all removed (which is his goal today). Also, we don't know if he has anymore growing in his body anywhere else either.
Continue to pray while Shelb is in surgery and for a fast and safe recovery. Hopefully Shelb's surgery will go well!
Update soon!
