Bandit

This is nerve-wracking. The surgeon is only there one day a week and Bandit was added to his load as a favor to the cardiac specialist. The surgeon has a full load of operations today. He has not gotten to Bandit yet. I am ready to explode!!!!!! Bandit is resting comfortably, waiting. The surgery will be today, I don't know how late. I will keep you posted. I am sick to my stomach with worry....

Oh no, Sue:( I'm so sorry Bandit has to wait so long. And you and your family must be beside themselves with worry. We're here, waiting with you, no matter how late. I'm sending you a huge hug; Cody and Star too. Love, Sandra

Prayers have been on the way for Bandit and you and your parents all day and will continue. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Oh Geesh! I hate to sit,wait and worry.
Drives me nuts.
Fingers crossed that the surgery goes off well.
Will be waiting for some good news.

I hope dear Bandit isn't still waiting...he is in our thoughts and prayers.

It is almost 10:30 here and I haven't heard anything since 5:00. They are open 24/7, but I wish I knew if he was in surgery or not. I'm waiting for my Mom to call and let me know. This waiting is unbelieveably stressful.

it will be ok ,, im keeping you in my prayers

Ok, he made it through the surgery!! This weekend will be critical for him. He is in intensive care. They sent out the biopsy and will be awaiting the results. The surgeon mentioned a possible problem with the lymphatic system. The specialist will have more info for them tomorrow, late afternoon.
So far we have had a little miracle, he survived the surgery, now we need the big one, a benign biopsy report and a treatment for his problem.
Thank you for your prayers, please keep them coming!!

{{{Still thinking of you guys....!!!}}}

continued prayers your way!

Anyone know what lymphatic system problems there are are that cause fluid build up in the chest cavity??? Any ideas?

Thank you for your prayers!
