Vascular Surgery - Day of surgery

This morning we woke up pretty early to get Broc ready. Dr Eliason came by to answer any last minute questions we had. We spent some family time together watching a movie before they came to take Broc back.

Dr Eliason also explained a bit about what they are going to do. He said that if the scar tissue is really hard ad rubbery then they would have to cut it all away and that would take a long time but if it was squishy and they could work around it or with it then things would go alot smoother.

Surgery is expected to be about 6 hours but could be longer. A lot is still up in the air as they will make many decisions once they are actually inside his leg and will be able to see the extent of the damage the scar tissue has done.

He went back at 9am. It is now 10:12am and we have not had an update as of yet. As soon as we get our first update I will let you all know what is happening.



Thank you everyone for all your love,prayers,comfort and support.

  1. Kerrigan, I understand your feelings about your mom not being there even though she was over-bearing ;-) I am so sorry. I'm so happy she helped you through so much. Those moments will be memories to replay for inner strength, knowing she would do it again with you now. I've been thinking about you guys all morning. Keep us posted as you hear from the doctors. These 6 hours will seem long, but keep busy and distracted if you can. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Tonya
