Just after the last update Wendy called with a report from the vascular surgeon.
The surgeon painted a serious picture. They are concerned about the flow of blood to Sherri's left foot and lower leg. To rectify the lack of blood flow they took a long vein from her right leg and implanted it in her left leg. Until they are confident of success, they will leave both incisions open (probably for a day or two).
Sherri is heavily sedated and is being kept in a state of paralysis by the doctors. As a result, she's on a ventilator to ensure her breathing remains strong and steady.
I'll be heading up first thing tomorrow.
I'm concerned all the surgery will be a big surprise for Sherri and of course she will be facing a lengthy recovery period. Some of you have faced such times and more. So please keep her in your thoughts and prayers - especially as the days move on.
Many thanks,
Steve
