DONE

Just spoke to surgeon. Pump is placed!!!! Jon is doing well in recovery. The doctor was most concerned about spots in abdomen. He looked all over and didn't see any evidence of disease, which was the biggest win for the day. He removed some lymph nodes, but didn't touch the spots in the liver. Dr. D'Angelica said that Jon's liver is encased in scar tissue, trying to get the spots now would be too risky. He can have the spots removed percutaneously later. I am sooooo greatly that all has worked out. The Holmes family is due for some good news :)
