From Todd ... adding to the prior post:
Christine was in surgery 4 hours ... longer than anticipated. Recovery then also took longer about 2 hours. When she finally got into a room, she was in a lot of pain. She was given a strong IV pain medication, but no relief. She then was given an oral medication 45 minutes later, but that too had a limited impact. Another pain med was given to her after that - and finally she is getting some rest. It has been about 2 1/2 hours of quite a bit of pain.
Because her bladder and other internal organs were moved around, she has a great sensation of having to go to the bathroom. Fortunately her body is putting out lots of fluids. Her blood pressure is better - but still high at 150/90. We were at 175/110 for a couple of hours.
So hopefully we are now at the resting stage. As I type she hasn't moved in five minutes ... a record for today.
THANK YOU all so much for your prayers. The prayers of a powerful person is powerful and effective!
I will update again tomorrow afternoon.
Trusting in Him.

Todd, Thank you so very much for your updates. Our prayers are going up continually, for rest for Christine and for her and you to know that this hasn't taken our Lord and Great Physician by surprise. As you have said, He is in control; He has a plan. And we are here to support you and her in any way we can. Love you both, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Cor 5.7
